El Segundo, CA - July 30, 2025 - As workers’ compensation payouts continue to fall short of covering long-term damages, more injured workers in California are turning to third-party lawsuits to seek full accountability and compensation. According to the legal team at Greenberg and Ruby Injury Attorneys, this shift reflects a growing awareness of options beyond traditional workers’ comp claims, especially when negligence from outside contractors or equipment manufacturers is involved.
“Workers’ comp only covers so much,” said Emily Ruby, firm owner. “But when someone outside your employer contributed to your injury (a subcontractor, a property owner, or even a faulty machine) California law allows you to file a third-party lawsuit. That can make a huge difference in the recovery process.”
Workers’ Compensation Doesn’t Always Cover the Full Cost of an Injury
While workers’ compensation is designed to provide medical treatment and partial wage replacement, it doesn’t offer damages for pain, suffering, or long-term emotional and physical trauma. This is where third-party claims fill the gap.
An experienced workplace accident lawyer can investigate the circumstances of a job site injury to determine whether another party outside the employer’s control played a role.
Greenberg and Ruby’s attorneys have represented clients in construction accidents, industrial injuries, vehicle collisions while on the job, and even defective equipment cases. Their legal team has secured multiple seven-figure settlements by pursuing these third-party claims.
“Most people don’t know they can sue someone else beyond their employer,” said Ruby. “But if a third party is involved, the law allows you to hold them responsible. That can mean a much fuller financial recovery.”
