One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesRichmond is a working city, and a lot of its 109,708 residents earn a living on job sites, in warehouses, on loading docks, or behind the wheel. When something goes wrong at work, the first system you meet is California workers' compensation. It covers medical care and part of your lost wages no matter who was at fault, and in most situations it is the only claim you can bring against your own employer. What many injured workers in Contra Costa County never hear is that a second path may exist. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a defective piece of equipment, or another driver contributed to your injury, you may have a separate personal injury claim against that third party. This matters for people who drive for work along I-80, Richmond Parkway, Barrett Avenue, or I-580, the corridors where public records logged the city's highest collision counts. LawProactive costs nothing to use. We simply connect you with an independent attorney who can sort out which claims fit your situation.
Workers' compensation is generally the exclusive remedy against your employer, but it does not stop a claim against a negligent third party. The attorneys we connect you with know how to spot that second claim.
You should report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and any third-party injury claim in California carries a two-year filing window. Getting connected quickly helps protect both.
