Construction accidents are injuries that occur on a work site due to hazards, equipment failures, or safety violations, potentially giving rise to claims against contractors, property owners, manufacturers, or others.
Key steps include gathering evidence, identifying liable parties, calculating damages, negotiating with insurers, and pursuing litigation when a fair settlement cannot be reached.
This glossary explains terms commonly used in construction accident claims to help you understand the journey.
Liability refers to the legal responsibility for harming another person, which may lie with general contractors, subcontractors, site owners, or manufacturers.
Comparative negligence is a method of assigning fault among multiple parties so damages are reduced in proportion to each party’s share of fault.
Damages are monetary compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.
In California, workers’ compensation often covers on-the-job injuries, while a separate claim may be made against others responsible for the accident.
California construction accident claims can involve workers’ compensation, third-party liability, or a combination, depending on who contributed to the injury.
If fault is clear and damages are straightforward, a focused approach can secure timely compensation without prolonged litigation.
When multiple parties are not involved or when insurance coverage is straightforward, a targeted strategy can be efficient.
