Who Can Be Held Responsible for My Construction Site Injury?
Construction sites are dangerous. A person may suffer injuries from heavy machinery, dangerous ledges and pathways, or falling objects. Responsibility for the losses you have depends on who is at fault. Here are some examples:
- The construction company doing the work if they fail to adhere to OSHA standards in creating a safe perimeter with ample warning signs
- Your employer if you are hurt on the job while working at the construction site
- The property owner in situations where your injuries are the result of unknown hazards on the jobsite
- A third-party contractor who created an unsafe situation, such as by exposing wiring
- Equipment manufacturers if their faulty design or construction resulted in your injury
Each claim requires careful investigation. It is essential to have evidence to support any statements you make. Your attorney helps make that possible.
What Types of Damages Can I Recover?
If you suffer physical, emotional, or financial losses as a result of the negligence of others, you can pursue a claim for all damages you have. This may include:
- All medical costs associated with your injury
- Ongoing and future medical-related care needs
- Pain and suffering for what you encountered
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Loss of wages and benefits due to being unable to work
- Permanent disability and disfigurement
Your accident claim’s value depends on the type and extent of your injuries. Expect our legal team to explore all possible recovery options.
How Long Do I Have to File for a Construction Accident Claim in California?
In most personal injury cases in California, victims have a full two years from the date of the accident to pursue a legal claim. If you fail to act within that timeframe and do not qualify for one of the few exceptions, you can no longer seek a claim. We encourage you to act sooner to pursue fair compensation. Your claim timeframe may be less if you are filing it against a government agency. It could be more in some limited cases.
