One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFresno runs on physical work. Packing houses, distribution warehouses, construction crews, hospitals, and the trucks moving goods along SR-99 all depend on people whose bodies are on the line every shift. When a shift ends in an injury, the path forward can feel muddled. California's workers' compensation system typically pays for medical care and a portion of lost wages regardless of who caused the accident, and it is usually the only claim you can bring against your own employer. That is not always where things stop, though. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a defective piece of equipment, or another driver played a part, a separate injury claim against that third party may be available. Some Fresno workers are hurt on the road rather than at a site; the city recorded 1,629 injury collisions in 2025, and employees driving for work travel the same corridors as everyone else. LawProactive is a free connection service, not a law firm. We match Fresno County workers with an independent attorney who can sort out which claims apply and which deadlines matter.
Workers' comp is generally your exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party can be held separately accountable. An attorney in our network can lay out both paths so you understand what actually applies to your situation.
California expects you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and any third-party injury claim carries a two-year filing window. Connecting early helps keep both clocks from running out on you.

It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for reporting an injury or filing a claim. If your hours were cut or your job threatened after you spoke up, that is something an attorney should hear about.
