One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesNewport Beach runs on people who work on their feet: restaurant and hotel staff along the harbor, boatyard and marina crews, landscapers, construction trades remodeling homes, and office workers in the towers near Jamboree Road and MacArthur Boulevard. When one of them is hurt on the clock, two systems can come into play. Workers' compensation pays for medical care and partial wages regardless of fault, and it is usually the only claim you can bring against your own employer. If a negligent third party caused the harm, though — a subcontractor, the owner of the property where you were working, the maker of a defective tool, or another motorist who hit you while you drove for work on W Coast Highway — a separate injury claim may exist, with its own two-year deadline. That distinction matters in a city that logged 419 injury collisions in 2025; a work-related crash often raises both questions at once. We handle workers' compensation and third-party injury claims directly. Our team can sort out which paths apply to you.
Workers' compensation is usually your only remedy against your employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or driver can be held separately responsible. We can check whether a third-party claim is on the table.
California expects you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and any third-party claim generally must be filed within two years. Getting in touch early keeps both clocks in view.
