One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesHollister's mix of agriculture, warehousing, construction, and small manufacturing means job-site injuries happen in a lot of different settings across San Benito County. In most cases, California workers' compensation is the only path against your employer, no matter who was at fault on the job. But sometimes the injury involves someone outside the employment relationship — a subcontractor working alongside you, a property owner who controlled the site, or the maker of a defective tool or machine. When that happens, a separate injury claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. LawProactive doesn't practice law; we simply connect injured workers in Hollister with an independent attorney who can look at the facts of your incident, figure out whether a third party may be involved, and explain your options. There's no cost to find out where you stand, and no obligation to move forward.
Because workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, it can feel like the only option — but a negligent third party, like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, may still owe you separately.
California requires you to report a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate both your comp claim and any related third-party case.

A third-party injury claim generally carries a 2-year deadline, separate from workers' comp timelines, so it helps to have both reviewed together before time runs short.
