Claim it before someone else doesBishop's economy runs on ranching, tourism, small industry, and the highways that connect them, including US-395 and N Main Street corridors that see steady equipment and delivery traffic. When someone gets hurt working near these roads or on a job site elsewhere in town, most people assume workers' compensation is the only path forward. That's often true against your own employer, but it isn't the whole story. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to your injury, California law allows a separate claim against that third party, on top of any workers' comp benefits. With Bishop's population under 4,000, local job sites, delivery routes, and highway work often overlap in ways that create these third-party situations. We handle workplace injury claims in Inyo County and can review your specific incident to explain your options plainly.
Workers' compensation usually blocks a lawsuit against your employer, but it doesn't shield a negligent third party like a subcontractor or equipment maker. We can review your incident to see if a separate claim applies.
California requires injured workers to report an on-the-job injury to their employer within 30 days. Missing that window can complicate your benefits, so getting guidance early matters.
