Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in California, and Santa Ana’s constant development means workers face risks every day. Falls from heights, heavy machinery accidents, electrical shocks, and collapsing structures are just a few of the hazards that can change a worker’s life in an instant. When these accidents occur, the road to recovery can be long and uncertain. That’s where the California Work Injury Law Center (CWILC) comes in. Our Santa Ana construction accident lawyers are dedicated to protecting injured workers and making sure they receive the benefits and compensation they need to move forward.
Despite strict safety regulations, construction remains one of the leading causes of workplace injuries. Workers often face unsafe conditions, pressure to meet deadlines, or faulty equipment that increases the risk of harm. An accident on a construction site can lead to broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other severe medical conditions that prevent you from returning to work for weeks, months, or even permanently.
What makes these cases complicated is that liability is not always clear. Workers’ compensation provides coverage for medical bills and lost wages, but in many instances, other parties may share responsibility. Contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers could be held accountable if negligence or defective products played a role in your accident. Having an experienced attorney means you’ll have someone who understands both the workers’ compensation system and the potential for third-party claims, ensuring that no avenue for recovery is overlooked.
Every construction site has risks, and even with safety measures in place, accidents happen. Some of the most common incidents we see include:
These accidents often leave workers facing weeks, months, or even years of recovery. That’s why having an attorney who knows construction law and workers’ compensation is so important.
Liability in construction accidents isn’t always straightforward. While workers’ compensation generally covers medical care and lost wages, there may be additional parties responsible for your injury. Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on:
Our attorneys investigate every angle to determine if you’re entitled to more than workers’ comp benefits alone.
California law is designed to protect employees who are injured on the job. If you’ve been hurt in a construction accident in Santa Ana, you may be entitled to medical treatment at no cost to you, temporary disability payments while you are unable to work, permanent disability benefits if your injury leaves lasting effects, and supplemental job displacement benefits if you cannot return to your previous line of work.
Unfortunately, many workers face delays, denials, or disputes with insurance companies when they try to claim these benefits on their own. At CWILC, we step in to ensure that your rights are enforced and that you are not left to battle insurers or employers without legal support.
