About California Laws Regarding Construction Injuries

We are Los Angeles Workers Comp Lawyers helping victims of construction accidents for over a decade. In many situations, injured construction workers are unaware of their rights if they suffer an injury. While many situations rely on workers’ compensation to cover the expenses associated with the injury sustained, there are some instances in which an injured construction worker may take additional legal action. Here are a few of the cases that can help a worker seek compensation after a construction injury:

• When a third-party is negligent, such as a machine manufacturer or property owner
• When there is clear maliciousness or negligence involved in causing the injury

Some of the most common construction accidents include falls from scaffoldings, reckless driving on a construction site, electric shocks, falling items, caught in-between accidents, and repetitive motion stress. 

In many situations, construction workers will go through workers’ compensation following an on-the-job injury. However, in any case, compensation may be pursued for medical expenses, lost wages, and disability. Because there can be many complex aspects, though, it’s best to speak with our Los Angeles construction injury lawyers about how to move forward.

A construction accident can lead to some of the most catastrophic injuries, including brain injuries, spine injuries, neck injuries, burns, broken bones, and more.

Why You Need an Attorney

Whenever pursuing compensation, insurance companies often get involved, and they’re not always willing to pay out the maximum money that the injured worker may need. If you find yourself dealing with a claim after a construction accident, it’s best to have legal counsel who can explain what rights and options you have to move forward. 

Our Los Angeles construction accident lawyers can help protect you from some of the tactics that insurance companies often use to minimize or deny claims. Having a lawyer helps to level the playing field. A lawyer can help with the following: 

• Compiling all evidence to help prove negligence and show that someone else was responsible for your injuries
• Building a strong case and protecting you from tactics insurance companies use to take advantage of your rights
• Helping you meet deadlines and file the proper paperwork to keep your legal rights intact

Providing you insight into settlements you should or should not accept, and whether it’s the right option to go to trial

Far too often, company owners, insurance companies, and insurance adjusters want to protect profit over people. Injured workers deserve the right to seek compensation when an accident occurs. With legal counsel, you can feel peace of mind regarding what comes next and your ability to obtain the necessary compensation you deserve.
