First, seek medical care and report the incident to the site supervisor. Gather any photos, witnesses, and incident reports. Second, contact our office to discuss your options and deadlines. We can help explain next steps and coordinate with insurance or workers’ comp as appropriate.
Workers’ compensation provides coverage for work-related medical care and lost wages, but it may not cover all damages. Civil personal injury claims can pursue compensation for pain, suffering, and other losses, potentially alongside workers’ comp claims.
In California, statutes of limitations vary by claim type. For personal injury cases, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file, but exceptions can apply. It is important to act promptly to protect your rights.

Possible compensation includes medical costs, lost wages, discomfort and pain, and, in some cases, future care needs, depending on the case facts and liability.
