Claim it before someone else doesSebastopol sits in Sonoma County, where agriculture, construction, retail, and delivery work all carry their own hazards. If you were hurt on the job here, California generally routes your claim through workers' compensation regardless of who was at fault. But comp doesn't cover everything, and it doesn't apply to everyone who contributed to your injury. If a subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or another driver played a role — say, in a work-related collision near Rt 12 or Bodega Avenue — you may have a separate injury claim against that third party, on top of any comp benefits. Our team handles both workers' comp and third-party claims in Sonoma County, so you understand which path applies to your situation and what deadlines matter.
Workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but it doesn't shield a negligent third party like a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment maker. We can tell you whether a separate claim applies to your case.
You generally have 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer, and any third-party claim carries a 2-year deadline. Missing either window can limit your options, so it helps to get guidance early.
