One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Diego runs on people who work with their hands and their feet: construction crews on job sites across the county, hotel and restaurant staff downtown, warehouse workers near I-805, delivery drivers threading El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue all day. When one of them gets hurt, the first question is usually simple: who pays for this? In California, the answer starts with workers' compensation. It covers medical care and part of your lost wages no matter who was at fault, and in exchange it is typically the only claim you can bring against your own employer. That is not always the end of the story, though. If a subcontractor, a property owner, the maker of a faulty tool, or another driver played a role, a separate injury claim against that third party may be open to you. Sorting out which path applies, and whether both do, is what we do. Our team has the experience to evaluate your situation and guide you through both workers' compensation and third-party claims.
Workers' compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but it does not shield a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver. We evaluate whether a third-party claim exists alongside your comp case.
California asks you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and any third-party claim carries its own two-year deadline. Acting quickly keeps both clocks from becoming a problem.
