Claim it before someone else doesLancaster sits at the north end of Los Angeles County, and many of its 161,103 residents earn a living with their hands, their vehicles, or both. Warehouses, job sites, and delivery routes along Avenue I and Avenue K each bring their own ways of getting hurt. When that happens, most people hear one thing: file for workers' compensation. That advice is right as far as it goes. Comp pays for medical care and part of your wages no matter who was at fault, and it is usually the only claim you can bring against your own employer. What often gets left out is the second half of the picture. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a defective machine, or another driver caused your injury, California allows a separate claim against that third party. In 2025, Lancaster logged 1,051 injury collisions and 1,723 people hurt, and some of them were on the clock. LawProactive is a free service that connects you with an independent attorney who can weigh both paths, with no fee unless there is a recovery.
Workers' compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but it does not cover a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver. The attorneys in our network check whether a third-party claim exists alongside your comp case.
California expects you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and any third-party claim generally carries a two-year filing window. An early connection means those clocks are watched from the start.

Retaliating against a worker for reporting an injury or filing a claim is illegal in California. An independent attorney can explain your rights if hours are cut, duties change, or a termination follows your report.
