Claim it before someone else doesTulelake is a town of about 950 people in Siskiyou County, and much of the work here is physical. A bad day on the job can mean a fall from farm equipment, a back injury from lifting, or a wreck while driving for work along South Main Street or Ridgeview Street. California handles these situations in two lanes. Workers' compensation covers medical care and part of lost wages no matter who was at fault, and in most cases it is the only claim you can bring against your employer. The second lane opens when someone other than your employer contributed to the harm: a subcontractor on the same site, the owner of the property, the company that built a defective machine, or another driver. That kind of third-party claim is separate, and it carries California's two-year filing deadline. Sorting out which lane fits your situation is where we help. We handle workers' compensation and third-party injury claims on contingency, so you pay nothing unless you recover.
Workers' comp is usually your only remedy against the employer, but a negligent third party can still be held responsible. We can look at both paths together so nothing is left on the table.
You have 30 days to report an injury to your employer and two years to file a third-party injury claim. We help you move quickly so those windows don't slip by.
