Construction work can expose employees to some of the most serious hazards on the job. Falls, heavy equipment, electrical risks, falling materials, and physically demanding duties can all lead to injuries that require extensive medical treatment and time away from work.
If you were hurt on a construction site in Costa Mesa, California Workers Injury Law Center can help you understand your rights and pursue the workers’ compensation benefits available under California law.
Construction injuries can happen during new development, remodeling, demolition, road work, maintenance, and other projects.
Common accidents include:
Construction workers may also develop cumulative trauma after performing strenuous physical duties over an extended period.
California workers’ compensation may provide benefits even when no one was specifically at fault for the accident.
Depending on your injury, benefits may include:
Serious construction injuries can lead to disputes over medical treatment, work restrictions, permanent impairment, and whether an employee can safely return to the same occupation.
Workers’ compensation is not always the only potential source of recovery after a construction accident.
A separate third-party claim may be possible when someone other than your employer or a coworker contributed to the injury. This could include a negligent contractor, property owner, driver, equipment manufacturer, or another responsible party.
California Workers Injury Law Center can review the circumstances of the accident and help determine what legal options may be available.
Construction claims can become complicated when multiple companies, contractors, insurance carriers, and medical providers are involved.
Attorney Rae Sadeghian-Levin previously represented insurance carriers in workers’ compensation matters. She now uses that experience to advocate for injured employees and help protect their interests throughout the claims process.
Our firm can assist with insurance disputes, medical treatment issues, disability benefits, Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board proceedings, and other challenges that may arise after a serious jobsite injury.
If you were injured while working on a construction project, getting the right medical care and protecting your claim should be a priority.
