From falling debris to unsafe sites, we’ve got your back.
In most situations, construction workers injured on the job are eligible for workers' compensation benefits. These benefits typically cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and a portion of lost wages. Understanding your rights and the benefits available is crucial in the aftermath of an accident.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 150,000 injuries occur on construction sites annually across the United States, with California, Arizona, and Nevada reporting some of the highest numbers. In 2019 alone, California saw over 400 fatalities in the construction industry, highlighting the need for expert legal representation following accidents.
We're in this with you, and ready to get your case settled.
Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. Report the accident to your supervisor and start gathering evidence, such as photographs and witness statements.
In California, you must report your injury to your employer within 30 days to preserve your right to benefits. Filing the workers' compensation claim should be done as soon as possible thereafter.
Generally, you cannot sue your employer for a work-related injury due to the exclusive remedy rule of workers' compensation. However, if a third party was involved, you might have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
You may claim compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for permanent disabilities or pain and suffering, depending on your case's specifics.
A construction accident lawyer helps navigate complex claims processes, ensures compliance with legal protocols, and fights for fair compensation against insurance companies.
