Claim it before someone else doesNational City's mix of warehousing, shipyard-adjacent industry, retail along National City Boulevard, and trucking tied to the I-5 corridor means workplace injuries here can happen on a loading dock, in a delivery vehicle, or on a jobsite shared by multiple contractors. Under California law, workers' compensation is generally the only remedy against your own employer, no matter who caused the accident. But when a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver on the road contributed to what happened, a separate claim against that third party may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. We handle workplace injury claims and can help you determine which path, or paths, apply to your situation. There's no cost to find out, and no obligation to move forward.
Workers' comp usually blocks a claim against your employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, or equipment maker can still be liable. We can help identify whether that applies to your case.
California requires reporting a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and separate third-party claims carry a 2-year deadline. Missing either window can limit your options.
