There are approximately 90,000 construction businesses licensed and in operation across the State of California. The California Contractors State License Board reported more than 285,000 licenses issued in various classifications, which include sole proprietors. These two figures make the State of California the largest in the nation for this type of business. No matter what the specific type of building construction is on a project, it is very likely to include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning work as part of it. When you add in the relationship that exists between general contractors and subcontractors, and you begin to factor in the risks of any construction site when it comes to injury and hazard, it demonstrates the critical importance of worker\u2019s compensation insurance and the benefits available for workers in California. As an HVAC worker, you are rarely working on a company-owned property, and every tradesman experiences this. This can be a key detail when you are injured at work and need an HVAC worker\u2019s compensation injury lawyer.<\/p>\n

When considering the environment on construction projects, take into account that the majority of the work is performed by skilled labor, and then factor in the use of equipment necessary to complete the projects. This combination increases the risk of accidents and injuries<\/a>. There will be strains and sprains most frequently, but some of the injuries can be more serious. If you need to speak with an HVAC worker\u2019s compensation injury lawyer, please get in touch with the DTLA Law Group. We have a very experienced legal team when it comes to dealing with subcontractor businesses and worker\u2019s compensation claims in the State of California.<\/p>\n

If you are working as a subcontractor on a construction site in the HVAC trade, your opportunity to get hurt at work is present. Heavy appliances and metal ductwork handling introduce the chance for strains and lacerations. Working off a ladder and using tools like nail guns to suspect ductwork exposes you to falls and puncture wounds. If you are injured at work, we want you to know that our legal staff at the DTLA Law Group is ready and able to assist you with your worker\u2019s compensation claim questions. Our staff is prepared to take your call, no matter when you reach out to us. Our mission is to get you the information you need as soon as you need it. When you contact us at the DTLA Law Group, we will provide you with the answers you need. If that first call doesn\u2019t answer every concern you have, our next step will be to schedule a free initial consultation for you with one of our HVAC worker\u2019s compensation injury lawyers as soon as you have the time in your schedule to meet with us.<\/p>\n

In that first meeting, we will ask you to share details about your injury and what caused it, including the events leading up to your accident, the nature of your injury, the diagnosis, and any other relevant information you have regarding the circumstances. The primary goal of that meeting is to assess who might ultimately be responsible for the accident<\/a>. Your company is going to be responsible for providing worker\u2019s compensation insurance, but if there are any third-party organizations that may be involved, then we need to understand that. We will cover the questions on liability and responsibility as they may apply to the resolution process for recovery of lost wages and other costs incurred.<\/p>\n

We will take all of the info from that discussion and work on explaining to you how the worker\u2019s compensation program in the State of California can address your needs. Worker\u2019s comp is going to help you get the medical bills and some of your lost income covered if you miss work because of your injuries<\/a>. One critical detail about worker\u2019s compensation is the limited amount of time you have to get a claim filed with worker\u2019s compensation in the State of California.<\/p><\/div>\n

What Is The Time Limit For Filing A Worker’s Compensation Claim in California?<\/span>\n

The time limit to file a claim with the worker\u2019s compensation insurance program is 30 days, and the time limit begins on the date of your accident. It\u2019s critical to seek care if you are hurt at work, so please do not wait. If you need help to open your claim, or your employer attempts to stop you from using the worker\u2019s comp system and its benefits, do not wait to contact the DTLA Law Group to get us involved before the 30-day limit expires. If you wait more than 30 days, your claim will likely be denied. This is a rule that is strictly enforced, but there are some situations that affect the time limit. One of them is for any injuries diagnosed as a result<\/a> of cumulative trauma.<\/p>\nWhat Is A Cumulative Trauma Injury?<\/span>\n

Cumulative trauma is a diagnosis of cause, and what it means is that there is a repetitive task occurring over a long time period that results in an injury. Most of the time, these actions individually do not cause injury or pain, but over time, they accumulate to a strain or pain that becomes unpleasant and requires treatment. If you are diagnosed with a cumulative trauma injury, you can still file a claim under worker\u2019s compensation even though it didn\u2019t just occur. The time limit to file a claim<\/a> for a diagnosed cumulative trauma injury is 1 year, and it begins on the date of the first day of work you missed due to the injury. It must be diagnosed by a medical professional.<\/p>\nThe Common Injuries And Workplace Hazards For HVAC Workers<\/span>\n

Many job roles have common injuries that are caused<\/a> by the work that is performed and the environment in which you work every single day. What is specific about the HVAC business is that on any given day, you have the opportunity to be doing several different types of tasks that expose you to a large number of various risks and hazards. The other injuries and hazards that DTLA Law Group regularly sees from HVAC professionals include falls from ladders or tripping incidents, back strains, cuts and puncture wounds, and even electrocution.
