Construction sites involve multiple parties, from general contractors to subcontractors and equipment suppliers, all of whom can share responsibility for hazards.
In California, civil claims may be pursued alongside workers’ compensation when fault and circumstances allow, aiming to recover medical costs, wages, and other losses.
A construction accident claim seeks compensation for injuries caused by unsafe conditions, defective equipment, or negligence on a work site.
