Claim it before someone else doesKerman's economy runs on agriculture, distribution, and small manufacturing, and workplace injuries here often happen around equipment, vehicles, or property owned by someone other than your direct employer. Under California law, workers' compensation is typically the only remedy against your employer no matter who caused the accident, but that doesn't close every door. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver on a road like Rt 180 or California Avenue contributed to your injury, a separate third-party claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. Fresno County workers deserve to understand both paths before signing anything or letting a claim quietly lapse. Our team reviews the details and explains what options actually exist for your situation, free of charge.
Because workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against an employer, many injured workers assume that's the end of the story. We can evaluate whether a negligent third party, like a contractor or equipment maker, opens up an additional path to recovery.
California requires injured workers to report a workplace injury to their employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate a claim. Getting a case review early helps make sure paperwork deadlines aren't the reason a valid claim gets denied.

Some workers hesitate to report an injury out of fear it could affect their job. California law prohibits employer retaliation for reporting a workplace injury, and we can advise on protecting your position while you pursue the benefits you're entitled to.
