First, get medical attention for any injuries and document what happened, where, when, and who was involved. Preserve evidence, report the incident to the site supervisor, and contact a qualified construction accident lawyer to review options and explain deadlines.
Liability can lie with general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers depending on the circumstances. A careful investigation helps identify all responsible parties and determine who should be pursued for compensation.
California generally allows a certain period to file a claim, known as the statute of limitations, which varies by claim type. It’s important to consult with counsel early to protect deadlines and ensure you pursue the right claims.
