Claim it before someone else doesMontebello's mix of warehouses, retail centers, and industrial yards near SR-60 means workplace injuries happen in a lot of different settings — from loading dock falls to equipment accidents. Under California law, workers' compensation is generally your only path against your employer, no matter who was at fault, but that's not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, property owner, delivery driver, or equipment manufacturer contributed to your injury, a separate third-party claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. You have 30 days to report the injury to your employer, and retaliation for reporting is against the law. We handle both the workers' comp side and any third-party angle at no upfront cost to you.
Because workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, injured workers often overlook that a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or equipment maker — could still be liable separately.
California requires you to report a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate your claim, so timing matters from day one.
