One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesCrescent City's economy runs on fishing docks, logging operations, retail along 5th Street, and the steady flow of trucking and delivery traffic on US-101. Workers in these jobs face real risks — falls, vehicle collisions, and equipment accidents among them. In most cases, California workers' compensation is the only path against your employer, no matter who was at fault. But if a subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or another driver contributed to your injury, you may also have a separate claim against that third party. This matters in Del Norte County, where many worksites involve outside contractors and shared equipment. We review both sides of your situation: the workers' comp claim and any potential third-party case. There's no cost unless we recover money for you.
California generally treats workers' comp as the exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or equipment maker — can still be held separately liable.
You generally have 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer, and missing that window can complicate your claim, so getting guidance early helps protect your options.
