Claim it before someone else doesLos Gatos may feel like a quieter corner of Santa Clara County, but its mix of retail corridors, construction along Los Gatos Boulevard and Blossom Hill Road, and delivery traffic near SR-17 and SR-85 means workplace injuries still happen here — falls, vehicle collisions on the job, equipment accidents, and repetitive strain from warehouse or service work. California workers' compensation typically covers medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, but it's usually the only remedy against your own employer. If a subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or another driver contributed to your injury, you may have a separate claim worth exploring. We handle workplace injury claims directly in Los Gatos and can review the facts, explain your options in plain terms, and help you understand what deadlines apply. There's no cost to start the conversation, and no obligation to move forward.
California law generally makes workers' compensation the exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or equipment maker — can still be held separately accountable.
You typically need to notify your employer of a workplace injury within 30 days, so acting promptly helps protect your ability to pursue benefits.
