Yes, if a construction site injury occurred due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. California allows third party liability claims in many cases alongside workers’ compensation. Liability could lie with a general contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or on-site supervisor. An evaluation with a construction injury attorney can clarify which claims apply, explain damages, and outline a plan to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in California is two years from the date of injury. Some exceptions apply for government entities or special circumstances. It’s important to start a case promptly to preserve evidence. Early contact with a Citrus attorney helps ensure proper documentation and deadlines are met, reducing risk of losing rights.
Damages can include medical expenses, wage loss, future treatment costs, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. In California, you may also recover for reduced earning capacity and impact on your quality of life. An attorney can help assess both current and future needs as your case progresses.
Liability can be shared among multiple parties, including general contractors, subcontractors, site owners, engineers, and equipment manufacturers depending on the facts. Your attorney will investigate to identify all liable parties and pursue appropriate claims. Our team coordinates with safety experts, investigators, and other professionals to build a solid case.
Bring incident reports, medical records, bills, proof of wages, insurance information, photographs, and contact details for any witnesses. Having these documents ready helps us evaluate your claim quickly and accurately.
Most construction injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you typically pay no upfront fees and only pay when we recover compensation. This arrangement allows you to pursue a strong claim without worry about legal costs.
Many cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare every case for negotiation and litigation alike to protect your rights and maximize recovery.
Liability is determined through a combination of negligence, safety violations, and regulatory standards. We assess site conditions, safety logs, training, and witness statements to establish fault.
California uses pure comparative negligence, which may reduce your recovery if you share fault for the accident. You can still obtain compensation, but the amount may be adjusted by your percentage of fault. Our team works to minimize your shared liability.
Resolution times vary. Some cases settle in a few months, while others take longer if they go to court. We provide transparent timelines and work to move your case efficiently toward a fair outcome.
