One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesEast Palo Alto's mix of warehouses, retail corridors, and logistics operations near US-101 and E Bayshore Road means workers face a range of on-the-job risks, from equipment accidents to injuries suffered while making deliveries through busy intersections. In California, workers' compensation is generally the exclusive path against your employer, no matter who was at fault, which means you typically can't sue your employer directly for a workplace injury. But if a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer contributed to what happened, a separate third-party claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. LawProactive is a free connection service — not a law firm — that can match you with an independent attorney who understands how these overlapping claims work in San Mateo County. There's no cost to get connected, and no obligation to move forward. Our goal is simply to help you understand your options after a workplace injury in East Palo Alto.
Because workers' comp is usually your only claim against an employer, it matters to have someone who can spot when a third party, not just the employer, played a role in your injury.
If someone outside your employer contributed to your injury, California generally gives you two years to file that separate claim, so timing matters.
