Claim it before someone else doesSaratoga's mix of small commercial centers, hillside properties, and busy corridors like Saratoga Sunnyvale Road and Saratoga Los Gatos Road means workplace injuries here often involve more than just an employer. Delivery drivers, landscapers, contractors, and retail employees can be hurt not only by workplace hazards but by negligent third parties — another driver, a subcontractor, or defective equipment. California generally requires injured workers to pursue workers' compensation first, since it's usually the exclusive remedy against an employer. But when someone outside the employment relationship contributes to the injury, a separate claim may be possible. Our team handles workplace injury claims in Saratoga and can look at the full picture, explain your options clearly, and help you understand whether a workers' comp claim, a third-party claim, or both may apply to your situation.
While workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, a negligent third party like a subcontractor or equipment maker may still be liable separately.
California requires injuries to be reported to your employer within 30 days, so timing your claim correctly can protect your options.
