One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSouth Gate is a working city. Warehouses, shops, and delivery routes along Firestone Boulevard and Garfield Avenue keep Los Angeles County moving, and the people doing that work sometimes get hurt doing it. When that happens, California law sets up two separate paths. The first is workers' compensation, which covers medical care and part of your lost wages no matter who was at fault. In exchange, you usually cannot sue your employer directly. The second path opens when someone other than your employer contributed to the injury: a subcontractor on a shared job site, a property owner who let a hazard sit, the maker of a machine that failed, or another driver who hit you while you were on the clock along Imperial Highway or Southern Avenue. That third-party claim runs alongside your comp case and can recover losses comp does not. We provide free consultations to help South Gate workers understand which path, or both, applies to your situation.
Workers' comp is usually your only remedy against your employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver can be held responsible separately. We review both paths for you.
California asks you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and a third-party injury claim carries a two-year deadline. Reaching out early keeps both clocks from running out on you.
