Payouts for Construction Accidents

Accidents in the construction industry are unique in that they frequently occur while the victim is on the job. According to California’s workers’ compensation laws, an injured employee may be eligible for financial compensation through one or more channels. Accidents on construction sites may follow either or both of the following courses:

• The route of workers’ compensation. In such situations, we seek compensation from the responsible employer. We may seek temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, or medical benefits based on the severity of the situation. Our attorneys understand the steps that must be taken to ensure that you receive the financial support you require to maintain your quality of life.
• The personal injury path. At most construction sites, success is the result of a number of factors working together. Some of these factors, including the equipment used and other subcontractors on the same job, are the responsibility of third parties. If one of these is the cause of a construction worker being injured on the job, we will pursue action against them. Our product liability team is able to take on manufacturers of faulty equipment, such as scaffolds and ladders. We can take on other companies with employees acting negligently and causing accidents. We can be counted on.

Whether your case involves a falling accident, being struck by a falling piece of construction material, or any other type of construction accident, we can assist you. If you were injured due to the negligence of someone other than your employer or coworker, you may file a personal injury lawsuit against them.

What Causes Construction Accidents in California?

The construction industry is intrinsically more hazardous than many other California workplaces. The construction of buildings requires the use of heavy machinery, hazardous equipment, power tools, electricity, and elevated work platforms. With even the slightest carelessness, these components can quickly become lethal. One missed step or safety regulation violation could result in tragedy.

• Violations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations • Inadequate safety equipment or procedures
• Inadequate or negligent construction worker training • Lack of fall protection
• Defects on the construction site • Exposure to toxic substances or chemicals • Negligent or criminal coworkers/contractors

OSHA identifies motor vehicle accidents, falls, electrocution, being struck by an object, and being caught between or between objects or equipment as the leading causes of death in the construction industry. Pedestrians and motorists who traverse construction zones are also susceptible to accidents and injuries. After a construction accident in California, you may be eligible for compensation whether you were a worker or a bystander.

Who bears responsibility for construction accidents?

A person’s legal and financial responsibility for an accident is referred to as their liability. In California, the party liable for another’s damages will be the party most responsible for causing the damages in question. To prove another party’s liability for your recent construction accident, you may require the assistance of a California construction accident attorney. The attorneys at The Law Offices of Norman Gregory Fernandez & Associates can assess your accident and assist you in determining the responsible party or parties.

• Construction firm. If you sustained an injury on the job, your employer may be liable for damages. Before accepting workers’ compensation, discuss the potential value of a negligence lawsuit against your employer.
• Real estate owner. If your accident was caused by a defective or hazardous property element, the property owner may be liable. A structural collapse, for instance, may indicate owner liability if the owner should have reasonably known about a cracked foundation.
• Product manufacturer. Numerous accidents on construction sites result from product defects, such as the collapse of cranes or the presence of asbestos in building materials. In these instances, the product’s manufacturer may be held legally liable for damages.

The majority of accidents that injure workers, drivers, or pedestrians will be the responsibility of the construction company. Construction companies can be negligent and contribute to accidents by, for example, violating OSHA regulations or failing to provide adequate employee training. Additionally, businesses will be vicariously liable for the actions of their on-duty employees. This includes site managers who negligently fail to ensure a construction site’s reasonable safety. Our law firm can help injured parties in Southern California take on powerful construction companies and other defendants.

Cases of California Construction Accidents

Construction of all varieties is occurring everywhere at all times. Working on a construction site, or even just being on one, can be extremely hazardous.

If you were injured in a construction accident or on a construction site, your legal rights depend on whether you were a bystander or a worker.

In California, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, unless the defendant is a government entity. You have six months from the date of the accident to file a claim if the defendant is a government agency. To protect your legal rights, it is crucial to consult with a law firm such as ours as soon as possible.

• Construction Accident Falls, Death, Back Injury, Neck Injury, and Laceration • Construction Injuries • Burns, Electrical Injuries, and Electrocution • Traffic Control, automobile collisions at construction sites
• Scaffold-Related Accidents, Brain and Head Injuries, Crane Accidents, Trench Accidents

If you are injured as a bystander and the accident was not your fault, standard personal injury law would apply and the person or entity at fault would be liable for your damages. Obviously, they will not give you money voluntarily, so you should contact a California Personal Injury law firm such as ours as soon as possible.

Depending on who was at fault, if you suffered a personal injury while working on a construction site, you may have recourse to Workers’ Compensation or a Third-Party Personal Injury Claim.

Numerous law firms would only sign you up for a third-party personal injury claim and may fail to inform you that you have an automatic remedy through Workers’ Compensation, particularly if your employer was at fault.

Obviously, there is more money in a Third-Party Personal Injury case, but the point is that you should pursue all available remedies if you were injured in a construction accident while working on the site.

Employee Compensation

Each year, a significant number of construction workers are injured or killed on the job. Most construction workers are aware that they have the right to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits if they are injured on the job.

The California Workers’ Compensation Act is the law that permits employees and workers to sue their employers for compensation for work-related injuries. The act provides benefits for workers that are injured on the job or suffer an occupational disease arising out of the course and scope of employment, no matter who was at fault. Even if an employee is partially or entirely responsible for his or her own injury, workers’ compensation benefits may still be available.

There are restrictions on the legal rights of employees. Even if the employer was at fault, employees cannot sue their own employers for on-the-job injuries, with very few exceptions. In addition, workers’ compensation benefits payments are frequently insufficient to cover the employee’s injuries. For example, Workers’ Compensation does not compensate for pain and suffering or loss of life enjoyment.

There are, however, situations in which the employee can pursue both a workers’ compensation claim and a case for damages against a third-party liable for the injury and not the employer. This is known as a case of third-party personal injury.

Third-Party Malpractice

Sometimes it is difficult to determine who is responsible for a construction accident that injures a worker or employee. Typically, a construction project involves numerous companies, individuals, and goods.

It is the responsibility of property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers, among others, to ensure that the construction site is safe and secure.

It is also the responsibility of equipment manufacturers and construction site suppliers to provide safe equipment and materials. As long as the injured worker is not their own employee, these third parties may be partially or fully liable for any negligence that results in injuries to a worker on a construction site.

An important reason for pursuing a third-party claim against someone or an entity that is at fault but is not your employer at the construction site is that a standard personal injury case can result in significantly higher compensation for an injured employee than workers’ compensation alone.

Therefore, it is essential for the injured worker to hire an attorney with extensive experience handling personal injury cases. Our law firm handles cases involving construction accidents throughout the entire state of California.

In a third-party personal injury case or lawsuit, the injured worker may recover damages such as lost wages, diminished earning capacity, medical expenses, future medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and loss of consortium.

Obviously, before you can recover damages, you must either reach a settlement with all responsible parties or win your case at trial.

Fortunately for injured workers, California permits the employee to pursue a third-party claim regardless of whether he or his employer contributed to the accident.

It should be noted that if you pursue a Workers Compensation claim, the Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier will be entitled to reimbursement from any settlement or judgment you receive from a third party for personal injury. This is known as subrogation.

The only thing you should be concerned about is getting better and receiving maximum compensation for your construction accident-related injuries.
