Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran, in Santa Rosa, California, provides legal representation for individuals injured on the job in the San Francisco Bay Area and communities throughout Northern California.
Under California law, injured workers seeking benefits from the California workers' compensation insurance system are typically prohibited from suing their employers for additional damages. However, an injured worker has the right to seek compensation directly from any 'third party' found to be negligent in causing the injuries. Such third parties may include negligent industrial product manufacturers, property owners and contractors other than the injured workers employer.
If you were injured in any kind of accident on the job in Northern California, don't assume that workers' compensation benefits are sufficient to cover the full extent of your losses. In most cases, workers' comp payments fall far short of the actual financial damages.
