One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesNeedles sits along Interstate 40 and Route 95, corridors that see steady freight and delivery traffic passing through San Bernardino County. That means many local jobs involve loading docks, roadside work, warehousing, or driving — all settings where a workplace injury can happen fast. In most cases, California workers' compensation is your exclusive route against your employer, regardless of fault, and covers medical costs and lost wages. But when a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to the accident, a separate third-party injury claim may also be possible. With a population under 5,000, Needles doesn't have layers of red tape, but the deadlines are still strict: report the injury to your employer within 30 days, and know that any third-party claim carries a two-year filing window. We're here to help you understand which path, or both, applies to your situation.
Workers' comp is usually your only path against an employer, but a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or equipment maker — can open a separate injury claim outside that system.
California law gives you only 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer, and missing that window can complicate your comp claim.
