Construction accidents include falls from scaffolding, equipment malfunctions, and hazardous conditions at a job site. They may involve injuries ranging from minor sprains to serious and life-changing harm. You may be entitled to medical care, wage replacement, and other damages if someone else was responsible for the unsafe workspace.
Filing a workers’ compensation claim is separate from civil injury claims. An attorney can help you understand both paths and how they interact. A lawyer can gather evidence, assess fault, and advise you on whether a third-party claim may apply to maximize compensation.
Yes. In many cases you can pursue a third-party claim against non-employers such as general contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, or property owners. These claims can supplement workers’ compensation and improve overall recovery.
In California, most personal injury time limits are two years from the injury date, with exceptions depending on circumstances. Starting the process early helps protect your rights and preserves evidence.
Bring details about the incident, medical records and bills, any wage information, photos, and a list of questions for your initial meeting. We will outline options and next steps after reviewing your materials.

Damages may include medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages or future medical needs may also be considered. A skilled attorney helps ensure you pursue the full range of recoverable damages.
Fault is determined through evidence, witness statements, site records, and expert analysis. Multiple parties may share fault under California’s comparative fault rules, affecting your recovery.
A settlement resolves the claim without a trial, often through negotiations or mediation. A trial is pursued only when a fair offer cannot be reached and the case meets legal standards.
