Claim it before someone else doesMalibu's workforce spans beachfront restaurants, hillside estates, film production crews, and contractors traveling Rt 1 and Malibu Canyon Road between job sites. When a worker gets hurt, California's workers' compensation system is typically the first stop regardless of fault — but it isn't always the only one. If a subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or another driver on a busy corridor like Pacific Coast Highway contributed to the injury, a separate third-party claim may be available alongside workers' comp benefits. Given that Los Angeles County recorded 75 injury collisions and 115 injured people in the most recent year, some workplace injuries in Malibu happen on the road itself, not just at a fixed job site. We provide a free case review. Our team can review the details, explain reporting deadlines, and identify whether a third-party claim applies to your situation.
Even though workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, a negligent third party — like a subcontractor, property owner, or another driver — can still be pursued separately. We can help identify whether that applies to your case.
California generally requires reporting a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate your benefits. We can help make sure the reporting and claims process stays on track.
