Jonathan and his team helped me win my settlement for a very traumatic dog bite case and were very diligent and empathetic with my injuries. Without the WIN team I would not have gotten justice on any level and I’m forever grateful for them! Would recommend highly to anyone needing representation for injuries.

What is a third-party claim in workplace injury cases?
A third-party claim is a lawsuit against someone other than your employer who may have caused or contributed to your workplace injury, such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner.
Can I file a third-party claim if I already receive workers’ compensation?
Yes. Workers’ compensation covers medical care and some lost wages, but a third-party claim allows you to seek additional damages like pain and suffering, full lost income, and future medical expenses.
What types of workplace accidents qualify for third-party claims?
Examples include injuries caused by defective machinery, unsafe property conditions, negligent drivers while on the job, or subcontractors failing to follow safety rules.
How is compensation different in a third-party claim compared to workers’ comp?
Workers’ comp is limited, while third-party claims may provide broader compensation — including non-economic damages such as emotional distress and reduced quality of life.
How long do I have to file a third-party workplace injury claim in California?
Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury, but certain cases may have shorter deadlines, so it’s crucial to act quickly.
