Claim it before someone else doesWork in Orange takes many shapes. Some people spend their shifts on job sites near Chapman Avenue, others stock shelves along Tustin Street, and plenty drive for a living on SR-55 and SR-22. When an injury happens during any of that, the first question is usually simple: who pays for this? California answers most of it through workers' compensation. Your employer's coverage handles medical care and partial wage replacement whether or not anyone was careless, and in exchange you generally cannot sue your employer directly. That is not always the end of the story, though. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a defective piece of equipment, or another driver contributed to what happened, a separate injury claim against that third party may be possible alongside your comp benefits. Sorting out which path applies takes someone who knows both. LawProactive is a free service that connects Orange workers with an independent personal injury attorney who can look at the facts and explain your options. There is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally makes workers' compensation the exclusive remedy against an employer, regardless of fault. An attorney in our network can tell you quickly whether a subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or another driver opens a second door.
You need to notify your employer within 30 days of the injury. Retaliating against you for reporting is illegal, and an attorney can help if your employer pushes back.
