One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSand City is tiny — under 400 residents — but it's wedged between Monterey and Seaside along SR-1, and its economy runs on hotels, retail, and light industrial work that lines that corridor. When someone gets hurt on the job here, the first stop is almost always workers' compensation, since California treats it as the exclusive remedy against an employer no matter who caused the accident. But that's not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, a property owner, a delivery driver, or a piece of defective equipment played a role, there may be a separate claim against that third party worth exploring. LawProactive doesn't practice law — we're a free service that connects injured workers with an independent attorney who can look at both angles, the comp claim and any third-party liability, and explain what applies to your situation. You don't have to sort this out alone or guess which deadline matters.
Workers' comp is usually your only path against your employer, but a negligent third party — like a contractor or equipment maker — can still be pursued separately. An attorney can help you figure out if that applies to you.
California requires you to report a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate your comp claim. The attorney you're connected with can walk you through what's still possible even if time has passed.
