Key elements include proving negligence, identifying liable parties, gathering evidence, and pursuing settlements or litigation to recover medical costs, lost wages, and other damages.
This glossary explains common terms used in construction accident claims for Salinas residents.
Liability means who is legally responsible for your injuries, which can include site owners, general contractors, subcontractors, or equipment manufacturers.
In California, injured workers may access workers’ compensation benefits, while a separate civil claim may pursue additional damages if another party’s negligence caused the injury.
Medical or insurance liens may be asserted against a settlement to recover medical costs paid on your behalf.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury in California, with some exceptions.
Options include pursuing workers’ compensation, third party civil claims, or a combination of both, each with different timelines and potential recoveries.
If liability is clear and damages are straightforward, a limited approach can resolve the case efficiently.
When deadlines are tight or the facts are uncomplicated, a streamlined path may be appropriate.
