Construction Accident Injuries Lawsuit

Most construction workers have suffered a few scrapes and bruises in the course of their jobs. However, it is critical to understand that there are many severe injuries that can occur in a fraction of a second when working around heavy equipment, massive excavation projects, or near the heavy materials used in the construction industry. Sadly, the following devastating injuries are all too common on California construction sites:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Spinal cord, back, and neck damage
• Complete joint dislocations and damage to connective tissue
• Soft tissue and nerve damage
• Facial injuries to the skin, nose, mouth, teeth, ears, and eyes
• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds often involve damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Head injuries ranging from a concussion or skull fracture to a brain hemorrhage, contusion, or other traumatic head injury

When ranking the causes of severe construction accident injuries, OSHA determined that four categories result in the most serious injuries construction workers suffer. These hazards include:

• Falls – Falls are responsible for over 33% of all fatalities on construction sites and countless other life-altering injuries each year
• Being Struck By An Object – Nearly 10% of all construction site fatalities are caused when the victim is struck by an object, and it also accounts for a significant number of severe injuries
• Caught In Or Between – these crushing-type accidents are to blame for around 5% of all construction-related deaths each year when the victim is crushed between equipment or other large objects – it also accounts for a significant number of permanent disabilities
• Electrocution – It is certainly hard to believe that almost 10% of all construction-related deaths are caused by electricity, in addition to many severe and life-altering injuries

In addition to these common causes of construction accident injuries, there are several that are not actually related to the victim’s job or task on the construction site. But often, these incidents can turn innocent bystanders or even guests at the construction site into victims. These incidents include:

• Welding Accidents
• Fires
• Explosions
• Heavy Equipment Or Tool Failures
• Collapse Of A Building Or Scaffolding

If you or a loved one has suffered construction accident injuries, please get in touch with the experts at DTLA Law Group for guidance in getting the help and care that is owed for the injuries you sustained while working on a construction site.

Most people are aware that worker’s compensation provides medical care and other benefits to workers who are hurt on the job. The program covers up to $1M in medical care for the victim and up to 66% of their lost wages while healing from their injuries. But it is essential to understand that you could be entitled to more than these primary benefits in some cases. If your DTLA Law Group construction accident injuries lawyer can determine that negligence played a part in your injuries, you could have grounds to file a construction accident injuries lawsuit.

Sadly, many injured construction workers are misled to believe that worker’s compensation is the only help they will get if they have been hurt on the job. When a company is liable for your injuries due to negligence, they understand that you have only two years from the date of the incident to file a civil case against them. And if they can prevent you from filing for that time, they will not have to face you in court. That is because after two years have passed, you lose your right to seek a civil lawsuit against the responsible party, even if they were negligent.

To make this just a little more complicated, it is vital to know that if the responsible party was a government entity, you have only six months from the date of the injury to file a civil claim. So it is essential that you contact the experts at DTLA Law Group as soon as possible after suffering a construction accident injury.

• Your lost wages due to your injuries – if you received any worker’s comp benefits, the lost wages would be less the amount of that benefit
