A construction accident in California covers injuries that occur on a construction site due to falls, equipment failures, or hazards such as scaffolding or trenching. It can involve multiple parties, including general contractors, subcontractors, site owners, and equipment manufacturers. Liability may depend on who controlled the site and who failed to maintain safe conditions.
Typically, the injured person or their legal representative can pursue a third‑party liability claim if another party’s negligence caused the accident. In some cases, workers’ compensation may also apply for employees, but this can limit how damages are recovered from others. A lawyer can determine which path best fits your situation.
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the incident, but certain factors can change deadlines. It’s important to start the evaluation early to preserve rights and ensure timely filing.
Many firms, including ours, work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront unless we win. You will discuss fees in advance, and there are no hidden costs. You’ll receive clear updates about progress and costs as your case moves forward.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, future earnings, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. If a party’s negligence caused the accident, you may also recover property damage and other related costs.
Comparative negligence rules reduce damages if you are partly at fault. We assess all sources of fault and work to maximize compensation by attributing liability to the appropriate parties and presenting strong evidence of your injuries and losses.
Workers’ compensation provides coverage for workplace injuries, but it often does not compensate for all damages such as third‑party fault, pain and suffering, or wage loss beyond a certain cap. Our firm reviews whether pursuing additional claims is appropriate.
Document everything: photos, incident reports, medical records, witness contacts, and any correspondence with insurers. Keep a detailed diary of symptoms and work limitations to support your claim.
Bring photos or videos of the site, your medical records, a list of treatment providers, dates of treatment, and any insurance documents or incident reports you have. Be prepared to discuss how the injury has affected your life and work.
