Claim it before someone else doesGetting hurt at work in Milpitas rarely feels simple. Under California law, workers' compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, and it applies no matter who was at fault. That covers medical care and a portion of lost wages, but it stops there. What many people in Santa Clara County do not realize is that a negligent third party can open a separate injury claim. A subcontractor who left a hazard on a job site, a property owner who ignored a broken stair, a manufacturer whose equipment failed, or another driver who struck you while you were working can each be held to account outside the comp system. That distinction matters for anyone whose job puts them on I-880, I-680, or Route 237, where public records show much of the city's collision volume concentrates. Milpitas logged 243 injury collisions in 2025, and some share of those involved people simply doing their jobs. We review workplace injury claims on contingency and can help you understand which paths are open to you.
Workers' compensation is typically your only remedy against the employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver can support a separate claim. We review both paths.
You should report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, while a third-party injury claim generally carries a two-year filing deadline. An early conversation helps keep both windows open.
