What Types of Damages Can I Recover?
Victims of a construction site accident may seek damages for the losses they incurred. If you are an employee hurt on the job, you may be required to seek a workers’ compensation claim to recover medical costs and, in some cases, lost wages.
If you are a worker hurt by a third party outside of your employer or you are a visitor to the site who suffers an injury, you can pursue full personal injury claims. This may include:
- Compensation for all medical expenses you have
- Future medical expenses and in-home support
- Property damage
- Loss of wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Loss of quality of life
Our legal team will work closely with you to understand the severity of your injuries and losses. We then build a claim that includes all documented losses. Expect us to fight diligently to maximize your claim.
How Long Do I Have to File a Construction Accident Claim in California?
If you are filing a workers’ compensation claim, you must notify your employer within 30 days of when the accident occurred. You must submit a claim within one year.
Most of the construction accident cases we handle involve personal injury. This may include vehicle accidents at construction sites, slips and falls, electrical injuries, and falling-object claims. If you have a personal injury, the California statute of limitations provides you with up to two years from the date of the accident or injury to pursue a claim.
If your loved one died in a construction accident, the immediate family has two years from the date of death to pursue a claim. We encourage you not to wait. Request a consultation with our firm immediately. Let us begin gathering and preserving critical evidence in your case. A few exceptions to these rules apply, and we do not want you to miss this critical deadline.
