Our team ensures you receive the full range of benefits, including medical expenses, temporary and permanent disability benefits.
  • Third-Party Liability: When a workplace injury involves third parties, such as contractors, equipment manufacturers, or other entities not directly employed by your company, we pursue additional compensation through personal injury lawsuits.

Workplace injury cases often involve addressing specific factors, such as:

  • Determining Fault and Liability: Identifying the cause of the injury and determining fault can be complex, especially in workplaces with multiple parties involved. We thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your injury to establish liability and build a strong case.
  • Navigating Insurance Challenges: Dealing with workers' compensation insurers and potentially other insurance companies can be challenging. We have experience negotiating with insurers to ensure you receive a fair settlement and are prepared to take legal action if necessary.

Examples of Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can vary widely depending on job nature and environment. Here are some common examples:

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, and cluttered walkways can lead to slip and fall accidents. Examples include slipping on a wet surface in a restaurant kitchen or tripping over a cable in an office.
  • Repetitive Strain Injuries: Jobs that require repetitive motions, such as typing or lifting, can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis. These injuries often result from prolonged strain on muscles and tendons.
  • Fall from Heights: Construction workers, roofers, and others who work at elevated heights are at risk of falling. Examples include falling from scaffolding or ladders, leading to serious injuries such as fractures or spinal cord injuries.
  • Heavy Machinery Accidents: Employees working with heavy machinery, such as forklifts or cranes, may suffer injuries from machinery-related accidents. This can include crush injuries, amputations, or severe bruising.
  • Workplace Violence: Incidents of workplace violence, including assaults or attacks by co-workers or customers, can result in physical injuries and psychological trauma.
  • Exposure to Hazardous Substances: Working with toxic chemicals or in poor air quality environments can cause health issues like respiratory problems, skin conditions, or long-term illnesses such as cancer.
  • Ergonomic Injuries: Poor ergonomics in the workplace, such as inadequate seating or desk height, can lead to back pain, neck strain, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Fighting for Injured Workers in California

Workplace accidents can cause devastating injuries, leaving victims with medical bills, lost wages, and long-term physical and emotional trauma. If you were injured on the job due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation beyond traditional workers’ compensation benefits. At California Attorney Group, we represent workers in third-party liability claims—cases where someone other than your employer is responsible for your injury.

We do NOT handle workers’ compensation claims but focus on serious workplace injury cases involving unsafe conditions, defective equipment, or negligence by third parties.

Workplace Injuries vs. Workers’ Compensation – Understanding the Difference

Many injured workers assume they can only recover workers’ compensation benefits, but in some cases, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit instead.

  • Workers’ Compensation provides limited benefits for medical care and lost wages but does NOT allow you to sue your employer for additional damages like pain and suffering.
  • Workplace Injury Lawsuits allow you to seek full compensation if a third party—such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner—was negligent and caused your injury.

If your injury was caused by an unsafe worksite, defective machinery, negligent contractors, or a reckless driver while on the job, we can help you hold the responsible party accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Workplace Injury Case?

If someone other than your employer played a role in your workplace injury, you may be eligible to sue for damages. Responsible third parties may include:

  • General Contractors & Subcontractors – Failure to enforce safety regulations.
  • Property Owners – Unsafe job sites or lack of proper maintenance.
  • Manufacturers of Defective Equipment – Faulty tools, machinery, or safety gear.
  • Negligent Drivers – If you were injured in a car accident while working.

Types of Workplace Injury Cases We Handle

At California Attorney Group, we take on severe workplace injury cases where negligence or third-party liability is involved, including:

  • Construction Accidents – Falls from scaffolding, unsafe equipment, or hazardous job sites.
  • Industrial Accidents – Injuries caused by explosions, toxic exposure, or heavy machinery failures.
  • Defective Equipment Injuries – Malfunctions or unsafe designs in power tools, forklifts, or protective gear.
  • Work-Related Vehicle Accidents – Crashes involving delivery trucks, construction vehicles, or rideshare drivers injured on the job.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents – Dangerous workplace conditions causing falls, broken bones, or head injuries.
  • Electrocution and Burn Injuries – Severe burns or electrocution incidents caused by faulty wiring, unsafe work conditions, or defective equipment.
  • Falling Object Injuries – Struck-by accidents leading to brain injuries, spinal trauma, or fractures.

If negligence caused your workplace injury, you may have a valid personal injury case—even if you are already receiving workers' compensation benefits.

Compensation for Workplace Injury Lawsuits

Unlike workers’ compensation, a third-party workplace injury claim allows you to seek:

  • Full medical expenses (including long-term care and rehabilitation).
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity.
  • Pain and suffering for the physical and emotional impact of the injury.
  • Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence.

Statute of Limitations for Workplace Injury Lawsuits in California

In California, injured workers typically have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent third party. If a government entity is involved, the deadline may be as short as six months. Missing these deadlines can bar your right to compensation, so taking legal action quickly is critical.

What should I do after an accident or injury?

After an accident, prioritize safety by moving to a secure location and seeking immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering witness information, and file a police report to ensure an official record. Keep detailed records of all medical treatments and related expenses. Before speaking with insurance companies, consult a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and ensure your claim is handled properly.

What types of compensation can I seek in a personal injury case?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In severe cases, additional compensation for long-term disability or loss of quality of life may also be pursued.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident in most states. It’s important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed on time.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

To have a valid claim, you must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injury. An attorney can help assess the specifics of your case and determine the best course of action.

Will my case go to court?

Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to court, where a judge or jury will decide the outcome.

How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury claim?

The timeline for resolving a claim varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. It could take anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on the circumstances.
