Use this glossary to understand common terms used in construction accident cases in California.
Liability means legal responsibility for injuries caused by another party’s negligence or unsafe site conditions.
Negligence is failing to exercise reasonable care, leading to harm on a construction site, often involving contractors or site managers.
Comparative negligence adjusts damages if the injured party contributed to the accident, depending on fault as determined by the court.
The statute of limitations sets deadlines to file claims; in California, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years, with exceptions.
Possible paths include pursuing an insurance claim, negotiating a settlement, or filing a civil lawsuit. Each option has different timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.

However, if liability is disputed or damages are complex, a broader approach may be needed to protect your interests.
