In construction accident cases, you may recover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering in a private injury claim. In California, workers’ compensation may apply if you are an employee, and pursuing a third-party claim can extend the potential recovery. We evaluate your case to maximize compensation and guide you through the process. We tailor a plan based on your situation and keep you informed at every step, so you know what to expect as your claim progresses.
In California, workers’ compensation generally covers medical treatment and partial wage replacement for work-related injuries, but it does not typically provide compensation for pain and suffering or full wage loss. A separate third-party claim against contractors, manufacturers, or property owners may recover additional damages. Our team helps determine the best path and coordinates filings as needed. We review your options and handle communications with insurers to support your recovery.
Personal injury claims in California typically must be filed within two years of the injury or discovery of harm, with some exceptions. Longer or shorter deadlines may apply for specific circumstances. Early consultation helps preserve rights and ensure timely action. If you’re unsure about deadlines, contact us soon to evaluate your case and protect your eligibility for compensation.
Bring any medical records, doctors’ reports, photographs from the site, contact information for witnesses, the incident report, and your own notes about how the injury occurred. The more documentation you provide, the stronger your case will be. If you don’t have everything, we can help you gather what you need and identify missing pieces.
The employer may be involved through workers’ compensation proceedings or as a potentially liable party in a third-party claim. We assess all responsible parties, including general contractors and subcontractors, to pursue the full value of your claim. Our goal is to maximize recovery and reduce the burden on you during a challenging time.
Fault is determined through a review of site records, eyewitness accounts, safety protocols, and expert analysis. We compile evidence to establish liability and support your damages. A thorough investigation helps ensure all responsible parties are identified and held accountable.
If the incident happened at a subcontractor’s site, you may still have a viable claim against the general contractor or property owner. We investigate all potential sources of fault to protect your rights and maximize recovery. We pursue all appropriate avenues to secure compensation for medical bills, wage loss, and other damages.

Medical bills may be paid directly by the insurer or advanced on your behalf as liens or settlements are arranged. We coordinate with medical providers to ensure timely care while pursuing the claim. We also review billing to ensure charges are accurate and properly documented.
In most cases, construction accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and the attorney’s fee is paid from the settlement or award. If there is no recovery, you typically owe nothing. This arrangement enables you to pursue your claim without upfront costs while you focus on recovery.
