Legal responsibility for injuries or damages caused by a construction site hazard.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, with some exceptions.
A claim against someone other than your employer or workers’ compensation, such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment supplier.
California uses a comparative fault system, where each party is responsible for their share of damages, which affects recovery.
Options include pursuing workers’ compensation, pursuing third-party liability claims, or pursuing a combination strategy to recover medical costs, wages, and other damages.
If fault is obvious and damages are easily documented, a direct settlement may be appropriate without prolonged litigation.
When medical expenses are well-defined and liability is uncontested, quicker resolution through negotiation can be feasible.
Construction cases often involve several parties, contracts, and insurance policies, requiring coordinated strategy and careful documentation.
We review contracts, warranties, and policy language to pursue the fullest possible compensation.
