One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWork in El Cajon looks different from one block to the next. Auto shops and light industrial yards line E Main Street, retail and service jobs cluster along Broadway and Fletcher Parkway, and a good number of people spend their shift driving on I-8. When a workday ends in an injury, the first question is usually simple: who pays for this? In California, workers' compensation normally covers medical care and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault, and it is typically the only claim you can bring against your own employer. That is not always the whole story, though. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a defective piece of equipment, or another driver played a role in what happened, a separate third-party injury claim may exist alongside your comp benefits. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect injured workers across San Diego County with an independent attorney who works on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
Workers' comp is usually the only claim against your employer, but a negligent third party such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment maker can open a separate injury claim. The attorney we connect you with can look at both.
You generally need to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and any third-party claim carries California's two-year filing deadline. Getting connected early keeps those windows open.

California law prohibits an employer from firing, demoting, or punishing you for reporting a work injury. If that is what you are worried about, an attorney can explain your protections before you decide anything.
