Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone gets hurt on the job in Duarte, most people assume workers' compensation is the only path forward — and often it is, since California treats workers' comp as the exclusive remedy against an employer regardless of fault. But that's not the whole picture. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to the injury, a separate claim against that third party may be possible alongside any workers' comp benefits. This matters in a city like Duarte, where industrial and logistics work near the I-210 corridor and commercial stretches of Huntington Drive often involves multiple companies and contractors on a single site. LawProactive doesn't practice law itself — we connect injured workers with an independent attorney, free of charge, who can sort through the layers and explain what options actually apply to your situation.
California generally makes workers' comp the exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or equipment maker — can still be pursued separately.
You typically have just 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer, and any third-party injury claim carries its own two-year filing deadline under California law.
