Some of the most common injuries include the following:

Without a doubt, these injuries can have devastating consequences. Even minor to moderate injuries can require expensive medical treatment and months of physical therapy to address. Severe injuries can cause permanent damage, and some injuries can even be fatal. Regardless of the harm that you or a loved one suffered due to an incident caused by construction tools or equipment, you should explore your legal options as soon as possible as you could have grounds to sue.

Who is at-fault for the harm resulting from a construction tool incident or construction equipment incident? The answer to this question depends on the specific details surround the incident.

If the incident was caused by a defective product (i.e., the product had a defect in design, labeling, or manufacturing), then the product manufacturer could be liable for any resulting harm. This is because product manufacturers have a duty to ensure that all their products are safe and completely free of hazards before they are released to consumers and available for purchase.

If the incident was caused by a tool or equipment that malfunctioned because of a lack of maintenance or repair, then the owner of the tool or equipment could be liable for any resulting harm. In many cases, each construction worker brings their own tools onto the site; however, some contractors might instead provide tools and equipment. When a contractor is the one providing the tools/equipment, then the contractor could be liable for any injuries resulting from malfunctions due to lack of maintenance or repairs.

Ultimately, liability is based on the specific situation surrounding the incident. If you are unsure of who is liable for the harm that you or a loved one suffered in an accident caused by construction tools or equipment, do not hesitate to contact us today. Our lawyers can help you better understand liability and whether you could file a lawsuit.

With the right legal help, you could recover compensation for the harm that you or a loved one suffered in an accident caused by construction tools or equipment. What could you recover? What type of compensation can you receive? Some of the common categories of compensation available for recovery include the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Legal fees
• Punitive damages
• Wrongful death benefits (loss of consortium and funeral and burial costs)

You can trust that our construction tool injury lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest settlement available for your injury claim.

Even if you have the right to sue, failing to file your lawsuit on time could result in losing the right to sue. This is because all injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue. In California, personal injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their lawsuits. There are exceptions that can apply to the statute of limitations (based on very specific details) that can toll or pause the deadline that applies to your claim. For more information about the time that you have to file your construction tool injury lawsuit, contact our experts immediately. Our lawyers can help you file your claim on time.
