One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPittsburg has long been a working city. Between the daily commutes along SR-4, Railroad Avenue and Harbor Street and the job sites spread across Contra Costa County, a lot of people here earn their living doing physical work. When that work leads to an injury, the first question is usually simple: who pays? In California, workers' compensation normally covers medical care and part of your lost wages no matter who was at fault, and it is generally the only claim you can bring against your employer. But it is not always the whole story. If someone outside your employer contributed to the injury, such as a subcontractor on the same site, the owner of the property, the company that built a faulty machine, or another driver who hit you while you were working, you may also have a separate third-party claim. LawProactive is not a law firm. We connect Pittsburg workers, at no cost, with an independent attorney who can sort out which paths apply and handle them on contingency.
Workers' comp is usually the only route against your employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker or driver can be pursued separately. The attorneys we connect you with look for both.
You should report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, while a third-party claim in California generally carries a two-year filing window. Getting connected early keeps both clocks in view.

California law protects you from being fired, demoted or punished for reporting an injury or filing a claim. If that happens, it becomes part of the conversation with your attorney.
