Construction Accident Lawyer in Beverly Hills

Not only are construction workers on job sites at risk of incurring injuries due to the negligence of others, but those passing through the site or living in areas where construction projects are taking place are also at risk. If those injuries occur as a result of the negligent actions of a third party, or if someone who is not a worker at the site is injured, compensation can be sought through California’s personal injury claims process. Our English- and Spanish-speaking Beverly Hills injury attorneys at Setareh Law can help you make sure you get the compensation you need and deserve following a construction accident. Learn about safety tips for driving in California construction zones and what makes an injury catastrophic.

The Construction Accident Claims Process

When an individual is injured at a construction site and an attorney helps them determine that the logical avenue for seeking compensation is through a personal injury claim, the claim will be filed against the relevant liability insurance policy held by the at-fault party. The insurance provider can choose to pay the claim, deny the claim, or make an offer to settle the claim out of court. If the provider fails to resolve the claim, it can be filed as a lawsuit in civil court, and a judge or jury will make the pertinent decisions about liability and compensation.

What Type of Compensation Is Available for a Construction Accident Claim in Beverly Hills?

Those who have been injured in construction accidents as a result of someone else’s negligence can seek compensation for both the expenses and quality-of-life impacts they experienced as a result of their injury. Common expenses included in a construction accident claim include medical expenses (hospitalization, physician and surgeon services, prescription medication, ambulance transport, and other medical procedures), lost earnings (including lost earning capacity if the injury is permanent), and property damage. Psychological impacts that can be compensated include physical pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and other issues that burden the claimant’s ability to simply live a normal life.

How Long Do You Have to File a Construction Accident Claim?

Beverly Hills construction accident claims generally follow the California personal injury statute of limitations, which is two years from the date on which the accident occurred. A construction accident lawyer will protect their claimant’s right to seek compensation both through the insurance claims process or the civil court by managing the timing of the claim, gathering evidence, negotiating on their client’s behalf, and navigating the formalities of the court process.

Can I sue a third party if I was injured on a construction site?

Workers' compensation covers most on-the-job injuries regardless of fault, but it is not the only option. If a third party, such as a general contractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or subcontractor, contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a separate personal injury lawsuit against them in addition to your workers' comp claim.

What are the most common causes of construction accidents?

Falls from heights, scaffold collapses, being struck by falling objects, equipment malfunctions, electrical hazards, trench collapses, and exposure to toxic substances are among the most frequent causes of serious construction site injuries.

What if I am an independent contractor, not an employee?

Independent contractors may not be covered by an employer's workers' compensation policy, but they retain the right to file civil claims against negligent parties who contributed to their injury. An attorney can assess all available legal avenues based on your employment classification.

Can I recover compensation beyond workers' compensation?

Yes, if a third party was at fault. Workers' compensation limits the amount you can recover from your direct employer, but a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent contractor, property owner, or product manufacturer can allow you to recover additional damages, including pain and suffering.

What safety standards apply to California construction sites?

Cal/OSHA enforces workplace safety regulations for construction sites in California. These include requirements for fall protection, scaffolding safety, electrical safety, excavation protection, and personal protective equipment. Violations of these standards can serve as evidence of negligence in a personal injury claim.

How long do I have to file a construction accident lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in California is two years. Workers' compensation claims have a one-year deadline from the date of injury. These deadlines can interact in complex ways, so consulting an attorney promptly is always advisable.

What if defective equipment contributed to my construction accident?

If faulty machinery, tools, or safety equipment caused or worsened your injury, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer in addition to any negligence claim against the site owner or contractor. These cases require thorough investigation and can significantly increase your potential recovery.

What damages can I pursue in a construction accident claim?

In a third-party personal injury lawsuit, you can pursue medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other damages not fully covered by workers' compensation. The combination of workers' comp benefits and a personal injury claim can provide more complete financial recovery.
