A construction accident injury in California includes injuries arising on a job site, such as falls, equipment injuries, or exposure to hazards. If you were hurt due to someone else’s negligence or unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation.
In many cases, you can pursue both workers’ compensation and a third-party personal injury claim. Our team can explain how these interact and help you maximize recovery.
