Claim it before someone else doesPasadena's workforce moves through hospital corridors, research labs, retail floors along Colorado Boulevard, and construction sites tucked between residential blocks. When someone gets hurt at any of those places, California generally steers the employee toward workers' compensation, a no-fault system that pays for medical care and part of lost wages whether or not anyone was careless. That is usually the only route against your employer. It is not always the only route, period. If a subcontractor left a hazard, a property owner ignored a defect, a machine failed because of how it was built, or another driver struck your work vehicle on I-210 or Fair Oaks Avenue, that third party may owe you a separate claim covering losses comp never touches. Los Angeles County records show 922 injury collisions in Pasadena during 2025, with 1,333 people hurt, and some of them were simply doing their jobs. We help you figure out which path fits your situation and handle these matters on contingency.
Workers' compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but it does not shield a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver. We can evaluate whether a third-party claim exists alongside your comp case.
California expects you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, while a third-party injury claim generally carries a two-year deadline. Knowing both clocks early keeps options open.

Retaliating against a worker for reporting an injury or filing a claim is illegal in California. If you sense pressure to stay quiet, that itself is worth discussing with an attorney.
