Claim it before someone else doesLakewood is home to just over 81,000 people in Los Angeles County, and much of its workday happens in motion: delivery vans along Del Amo Boulevard, service technicians moving between calls on South Street, retail and warehouse crews near Woodruff Avenue and Carson Street. When someone is hurt while working here, the first question is usually simple. Who pays? Under California law, workers' compensation covers your medical care and part of your lost wages no matter who caused the injury, and it is normally the only claim you can bring against your own employer. That is not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a defective piece of equipment, or another driver played a role, a separate injury claim against that third party may be available alongside workers' comp. Lakewood's public collision records logged 308 injury crashes and 441 people hurt in 2025, and some of those people were on the clock. LawProactive is a free service that connects you with an independent attorney who can sort out which paths apply to you.
Workers' compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party can support a separate claim. An independent attorney can check whether both apply to you.
You generally need to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and third-party injury claims carry a two-year deadline in California. A quick, free connection keeps those dates from slipping.
