Your Trusted Construction Injury Lawyers – Protecting Injured Workers

After a construction site injury, your priority is your health. Seek immediate medical attention, report the incident to your employer, and document everything, including photos of the accident site. It’s also crucial to contact a construction injury lawyer to understand your legal rights and ensure you receive proper compensation.

You may be eligible for several types of compensation, including:

• Workers’ compensation: Covers medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
• Third-party claims: For pain and suffering, full lost wages, and future medical expenses if a negligent party outside of your employer caused the injury.
• Disability benefits: If the injury results in partial or total disability.

Yes, in certain cases. If a third party, such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer, contributed to your injury, you can pursue a third-party liability claim in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits. Our team can help you determine if your case qualifies for both.

The time limit to file a claim varies. In California, you must report a workplace injury within 30 days to be eligible for workers’ compensation. Personal injury claims typically have a two-year statute of limitations. It’s essential to contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you meet all deadlines.

If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. Our lawyers can help you gather additional evidence, represent you in hearings, and negotiate with your employer’s insurance company to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.

Several parties can be held accountable, including:

• General contractors and subcontractors
• Equipment or machinery manufacturers
• Property owners or managers
• Safety inspectors or third-party service providers

Our team will investigate your case thoroughly to identify all liable parties and maximize your compensation.

Even if you were partially at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation. California follows comparative negligence laws, meaning your compensation can be reduced based on your level of fault. Our attorneys will fight to minimize your liability and maximize your recovery.

At Construction Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront fees or hidden costs—we only get paid if we recover compensation on your behalf.

The timeline for a case varies depending on the complexity of the injury and whether it involves multiple liable parties. While some cases may settle in a few months, others may take longer, especially if litigation is required. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and work to resolve your case as quickly as possible.

It is illegal for employers to retaliate against workers for filing workers’ compensation claims. If you experience retaliation, such as termination or reduced hours, our team can help you file a retaliation claim and hold your employer accountable.
