One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLafayette's mix of office parks, retail centers along Mt. Diablo Boulevard, and construction tied to the town's steady growth means workplace injuries here range from repetitive strain and falls in commercial buildings to equipment accidents on job sites. Under California law, workers' compensation is typically the only path against your own employer, no matter who was at fault, but that's not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, property owner, delivery driver, or equipment manufacturer contributed to your injury, you may have a separate claim against that third party, with its own two-year filing deadline. Navigating both systems at once can be confusing, especially while you're trying to recover and worried about your paycheck. LawProactive doesn't charge you anything to get matched with an independent attorney familiar with Contra Costa County workplace cases, so you can find out what options actually apply to your situation.
Workers' comp usually applies regardless of fault, but a negligent third party like a subcontractor or equipment maker can open the door to an additional claim, and an attorney can help identify which applies to you.
California generally requires reporting a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate your claim, so timing matters from day one.
