Encinitas, CA personal injury attorney Jeffrey Padilla talks about what happens if you get injured in the workplace. If an individual is injured in the workplace, it is widely known that workers’ compensation is typically available. However, many people are unaware that there could also be liability against a third party, such as a subcontractor who is not the employer.
