Construction Site Injury Attorney

Sadly, there are rarely minor injuries suffered on a construction site by a worker or a guest. Many of the injuries leave life-long damage that results in limited ability to lead a full life and a great deal of physical and emotional pain. These life-altering injuries are often the result of the following incidents:

• Fall accounts for over 33% of the incidents that cause life-altering or life-ending harm each year on construction sites
• Injury victims being struck by an object account for another 10% of all severe construction site injuries
• Victims who are caught between objects or suffer crushing injuries account for another 5% plus of the serious injuries reported each year
• Electrocution or injuries caused by electricity account for almost 10% of these astounding incidents on construction sites annually

In addition, it is surprising that construction workers suffer harm, often very even across the trades, as many use the same equipment and scaffolding and are exposed to common hazards such as fires, explosions, and accidents caused by heavy equipment failure. If you suffered any injuries as a result of a construction incident, please get in touch with the staff at DTLA Law Group today to discuss the facts of the incident and how we can help you sort out who is responsible for the losses and expenses you face because of the construction injuries you sustained.

As a construction worker injured on the job, you are likely to know that workers compensation is an insurance program created to protect injured workers while performing their job tasks. The cost of this program is covered 100% by employers who are required by law to provide coverage for their employees. Should a worker suffer an injury while on the job, they can receive up to $1M in medical care coverage and partial payment of their lost income. However, in most cases, they are not permitted to seek added compensation from their employer via a lawsuit.

In rare cases that involve negligence, the employee can sue for added compensation. The civil suit would be against the negligent party, which could be one or more of the following:

• The property owner
• The general contractor
• A subcontractor
• Construction supervision staff
• Project designers or architects
• Engineers
• Tool or heavy equipment manufacturers
• Equipment rental companies or resellers

Please know that the team at DTLA Law Group is dedicated to securing the full compensation you are owed for the harm you sustained while on a construction site. Please reach out to our expert staff today to request a free consultation with a skilled construction site injury attorney to discuss your claim and determine if negligence could have been a factor in causing or contributing to the injury incident that caused your harm.

As an injured construction worker who is filing a workers comp claim, you need to open the claim within 30 days of the incident to receive coverage for your medical expenses and lost income. If negligence is involved and you have the ability to seek added compensation via a civil lawsuit, the Statute of Limitations is typically two years from the date of the incident unless the liable party is a government entity. In cases where the property owner was a government agency, city, or state, your time limit to file a civil lawsuit is reduced to only 6 months from the date of the injury incident. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with DTLA Law Group immediately to learn more about the options open to you to secure compensation and how long you have to take legal action to get those funds.

As a guest injured while at a construction site, you will not be able to use the workers compensation program to cover your medical expenses. Instead, you will need to file a civil lawsuit to seek any compensation owed to you for the harm you sustained due to someone’s negligence.

Many first-time personal injury victims are confused about how the compensation amount for their lawsuit will be determined. They think there are predetermined values or amounts for certain injuries or incidents. However, that is not true. Instead, each case is evaluated independently to ensure the victim is fully and fairly compensated for all their losses and expenses. Working closely with your DTLA Law Group construction suite injury attorney, you will compile all the allowable expenses you incurred, which typically are:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the care and rehabilitation of your construction site injuries
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your construction site injury lawsuit
• The replacement value of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the construction injury incident
• Your lost income if the injuries suffered in the construction site incident prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed or if you miss work to attend medical appointments related to the injuries

In cases where the victim sustained severe injuries that require a lengthy recovery time, it is also possible to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because these amounts are not supported with bills or invoices, your construction site injury attorney at DTLA Law Group will provide guidance in selecting an appropriate amount based on recently resolved cases with similar details.
