If you can safely do so, seek medical attention and report the incident to your supervisor or site manager. Document the circumstances, take photos if possible, and collect contact information for any witnesses. Avoid sharing details with insurers until you have consulted with a lawyer.
In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim, though deadlines can vary by case type. Workers’ compensation timelines may differ, and certain factors can shorten or extend deadlines. Always consult an attorney to confirm the applicable time limits for your situation.
Liability can lie with general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or site owners, depending on fault and control of the site. Multiple parties may share responsibility for dangerous conditions. A careful review helps identify all liable parties.
You may pursue damages for medical bills, lost wages, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Depending on the case, you may also recover long-term care costs and related out-of-pocket expenses. An attorney can help quantify and pursue these items.
A lawyer can explain options, protect your rights, and handle communications with insurers. Early legal review helps preserve evidence and meet important deadlines, strengthening your position.
California follows a comparative fault standard, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found largely at fault, your final award may be reduced or eliminated.
Workers’ compensation covers work-related injuries for employees, regardless of fault, while a third‑party claim targets other responsible parties. Many cases involve both paths, and an attorney can help you evaluate the best approach.
Some cases settle before trial through negotiations or mediation; others proceed to court if a fair agreement cannot be reached. A lawyer guides you through the process and advocates for your interests.
Attorney fees in these cases are often on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the fee is paid from the recovery. The exact terms are discussed during the initial consultation.
Contact a construction accident attorney as soon as possible after an incident to preserve evidence and meet deadlines. A prompt assessment helps determine the best path to compensation for San Carlos residents.
