Encinitas, CA personal injury attorney Jeffrey Padilla talks about what happens if you get injured in the workplace. He explains that while workers’ compensation is generally available to individuals injured on the job, many people are unaware that there may also be liability on the part of a third party. This could include a subcontractor who is not the employer or any other entity whose actions contributed substantially to the injury.

He emphasizes the importance of consulting an attorney to explore these possibilities. Pursuing a third-party claim can potentially result in a significantly larger financial recovery than what workers’ compensation benefits alone would provide.
