One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSouth Pasadena's small-city footprint means many residents commute along Fair Oaks Avenue, Huntington Drive, or Monterey Road to jobs in Pasadena, Alhambra, or downtown Los Angeles, and some are hurt on job sites, in delivery vehicles, or on client properties rather than at a fixed office. California generally routes workplace injuries through the workers' compensation system regardless of fault, but that's not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or another driver contributed to the accident, a separate third-party injury claim may also be available alongside your comp benefits. Knowing which path applies, and how the two interact, matters for your recovery. We review the details of your injury, explain the workers' compensation process, and evaluate whether a third-party claim is worth pursuing. The consultation costs nothing, and there's no obligation to move forward.
Workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party like a subcontractor or equipment maker may still owe you separately. We can help you spot when both paths apply.
You generally have 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer, and a third-party claim carries its own 2-year deadline under California law. Getting guidance early helps preserve your options.
