One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWest Sacramento's economy leans on warehousing, distribution, food processing, and construction tied to corridors like I-80 and US-50, and those industries carry real injury risk — forklift accidents, falls from loading docks, equipment malfunctions, and repetitive strain from long shifts. When an injury happens on the job here, workers' compensation is usually the first path, covering medical care and partial wage replacement regardless of fault. But that's not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to your injury, a separate third-party claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. Understanding which path — or both — applies to your case matters, especially with strict reporting windows and legal deadlines in play. We handle workplace injury claims and can review the details and explain your options clearly, without pressure or guesswork.
Workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against an employer, but a negligent third party — like a contractor or equipment maker — may still owe a separate claim. We can evaluate whether both apply to your case.
California requires injuries be reported to an employer within 30 days, and third-party claims carry a 2-year deadline. Missing either window can limit your options, so timing your next step matters.
