Yes. In California, you can pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp when another party’s negligence contributed to your injuries. A lawyer can help you evaluate options and pursue compensation beyond medical bills and wage loss. In many construction cases, multiple liable parties exist, so a comprehensive approach improves your odds of full recovery.
Possible damages include medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, and reduced earning capacity. We assess your current needs and long-term outlook to determine a fair value. Each case is unique, so we tailor a plan to your situation.
Case duration varies with complexity, available evidence, and court schedules. Many claims settle within months, while others proceed to trial over a longer period. We provide transparent timelines and regular updates about progress and next steps.
Liability can lie with general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers, depending on how the accident occurred. We investigate the site, safety records, and contracts to identify all responsible parties. Our goal is to pursue all viable avenues for compensation.
