Claim it before someone else doesRedwood City is the San Mateo County seat, and many people here earn a living on scaffolding, in warehouses, or behind the wheel. When a shift ends with a trip to the emergency room, the questions come fast. Under California law, workers' compensation is usually your only claim against your employer, and it applies no matter who was at fault. That system covers medical care and a portion of lost wages, but it does not cover everything. If someone outside your employer contributed to the injury — a subcontractor on a job site off Woodside Road, a property owner along El Camino Real, the maker of a faulty tool, or another driver on US-101 — a separate third-party claim may be possible. That distinction matters in a city where 305 injury collisions were reported in 2025, because driving is part of the job for many local workers. We handle these cases directly. Our team can sort out which paths fit your situation.
Workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but California also lets you pursue a negligent third party — a subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or another driver. We review both paths for your situation.
You should report the injury to your employer within 30 days, and a third-party claim carries a two-year filing deadline. We help you keep both on track.
