After a construction accident, seek medical attention for your injuries and follow your clinician instructions. Preserve all evidence including photos and witness contact information. Contact our office to review your rights and options. We will explain the steps and help you decide the best path forward. The goal is to pursue fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Liability can lie with multiple parties such as general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers. We assess who contributed to the hazard and how their actions or omissions led to your injury. Shared fault rules in California may apply and affect damages.
If you are a worker, workers compensation may cover some benefits. A separate personal injury claim may be possible against third parties whose conduct caused the accident. We evaluate both paths to determine the best strategy for you.
In California the general deadline for personal injury claims is two years from the injury date. Some cases have shorter or longer timelines depending on specific facts, so it is important to consult early. Early guidance helps ensure you meet deadlines and preserve evidence for your claim.
Damages can include medical costs, lost income, future medical needs, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. We work to capture all relevant losses and present a complete claim. Our goal is to pursue a fair recovery that reflects both current and future needs.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to trial when a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare thoroughly to pursue the best possible result. You will be kept informed about options and progress at every stage.
Legal fees are typically on a contingency basis in these cases, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the lawyer is paid from a portion of the recovery if successful. We discuss costs clearly up front. If there is no recovery, there is no fee for our services.
We can often arrange meetings by phone or video conference if needed. In person visits are welcome when convenient. We aim to make the process as accessible as possible for you.
Case length depends on factors such as evidence, parties involved, and court schedules. We stay focused on timely progress and regular updates. Complex cases may take longer, but we work to move you forward efficiently.
A consultation is an opportunity to review your situation, ask questions, and learn about potential options. There is no obligation, and we tailor guidance to your case. You will leave with a clear sense of your rights and the steps ahead.
