Route 46 through Lodi presents unique dangers for drivers, particularly during morning and evening commutes when traffic congestion is heaviest. This stretch of highway sees frequent rear-end collisions as drivers fail to maintain safe following distances during stop-and-go traffic. The numerous commercial driveways and side streets entering Route 46 create additional hazards as drivers attempt to merge into fast-moving traffic or make left turns across multiple lanes. Commercial vehicles traveling to and from businesses along the corridor add another layer of danger, especially during poor weather conditions. Attorney Luis Martinez has represented numerous clients injured in Route 46 accidents throughout his 34-year career. He understands the traffic patterns, knows the problematic intersections and merge points, and has investigated countless accidents along this corridor.

Lodi’s mix of manufacturing facilities, retail businesses, construction sites, and service industries means workplace injuries occur with concerning frequency. Common workplace injuries in Lodi include construction workers falling from heights or struck by equipment, manufacturing employees injured by machinery or repetitive strain, retail workers hurt in slip and falls or while lifting heavy merchandise, and delivery drivers injured in vehicle accidents. If you’re injured on the job in Lodi, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim regardless of who was at fault. Workers’ comp should cover your medical treatment, a portion of lost wages, and any permanent disability benefits. However, many injured workers don’t realize they may also have a third-party claim against someone other than their employer—such as a negligent property owner, equipment manufacturer, or subcontractor. These third-party claims can provide significantly more compensation than workers’ comp alone. Attorney Luis Martinez handles both workers’ compensation claims and third-party injury cases. His experience includes representing construction workers injured by negligent contractors, warehouse employees hurt by defective equipment, and delivery drivers struck by negligent motorists. Luis understands that Lodi workers often face pressure from employers to minimize their injuries or return to work too quickly.
