If you get injured while you are working in Northern California, typically you will have a workers' compensation claim. If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer, you may also have what we call a "third party claim." At the Law Office of Balamuth Harrington, LLP, we do not handle workers' compensation claims, but we make every effort to connect our clients with attorneys who do.

Third party claims can be complicated to handle because of how they intersect with workers' compensation claims under the law. Our Northern California work injury lawyers have experience dealing with these complexities and have acquired the skills to maximize our clients' overall recovery. We may be able to help you if your work related injury was the result of defective or dangerous machinery used while on the job, if your injury occurred in an auto accident involving a driver who is not a co-worker, if your injury resulted during a slip and fall accident caused by improperly maintained property not owned by your employer; or if you developed an occupational disease that resulted from exposure to toxic chemicals while on the job.

Here are some on the job injury statistics for 2008:

• 222,290 cases of job related back injuries occurred
• 234,840 fall injury cases were reported
