What Causes Today’s Construction Accidents?
The majority of today’s construction accidents stem from avoidable negligence. Inattention on a construction site or while using dangerous equipment can seriously injure passersby, contractors, employees, and other parties.
Some of the most common of today’s construction accidents can include:
- Falls
- “Struck by” accidents involving heavy machinery, construction trucks, or affiliated vehicles
- Electrocutions
- “Stuck between” accidents
- Fires
- Machinery accidents
Our team doesn’t shy away from complicated construction accident cases. You always have the right to meet with our team and discuss the specific circumstances that contributed to your losses.
We can go out, find the evidence necessary to meet the state’s burden of proof for a personal injury lawsuit or assist you with a workers’ compensation claim, and move your case forward accordingly.
When Should You Contact a Los Angeles Construction Accident Lawyer?
You have the right to reach out to a Los Angeles, CA, construction accident attorney immediately following a serious accident. In fact, the sooner you can get in touch with a legal professional following an accident, the better.
Conversations with an attorney can make it easier for you to turn down insufficient construction accident settlements from liable parties or workers’ compensation.
Your case evaluations with our team come free of charge and do not obligate you to pursue a specific kind of action to recover construction accident damages. We’ll help you determine whether you can file a workers’ compensation claim, a personal injury lawsuit, or both.
What Can a Los Angeles Construction Accident Lawyer Do for You?
Our team takes pride in making it easier for you to:
- Investigate the specific instances of negligence that contributed to your accident (when applicable; this is not necessary for workers’ compensation)
- Bring forward enough evidence to prove your right to legal action
- Defend your right to comprehensive compensation in conversations with insurers, liable parties, and legal representatives
- Maximize the accident compensation you can demand
- Arrange settlement negotiations on your behalf
- Represent you in civil court, should you need to take your case to trial
We offer these services on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you don’t have to pay a deposit or retainer to start working with our team. We won’t send you bills while your case is in progress. Instead, we only get paid once we win your case.
(310) 526-8383How to Ask for a Settlement After a Construction Accident
If you can pursue a personal injury lawsuit against somebody other than your employer, make sure you account for all of the losses you sustained as a result of the liable party’s negligence.
These should include your economic and non-economic expenses, which may cover your:
- Emergency medical expenses
- Surgeries
- Physical therapy
- Pain management aids
- Lost wages
- Lost benefits
- Property damage, as applicable
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
We can also work with families who’ve lost loved ones to construction accidents. While no settlement will ever replace your loved one, additional financial support can give you the time you need to grieve without introducing more financial stress into your life.
What to Do if You’re a Construction Site Employee Injured on the Job
Omega Law Group takes pride in offering individualized, boutique legal services to anyone in need of support following a construction accident.
If you’ve been injured while working on a construction site, you may have the right to invoke your right to workers’ compensation. Our team can outline your right to do so and work with you to fight for the support you need.
California law states that employers must provide workers’ compensation coverage for their employees. If you work as an independent contractor, we can explore the boundaries of your contract and make sure you weren’t inappropriately categorized by a client.
Once our Los Angeles, CA, construction accident lawyers determine your right to workers’ compensation, we can make sure that you:
- Report your injury to your employer
- File your workers’ compensation claim (DWC-1) in accordance with state requirements
- Schedule and attend medical evaluations, determining the extent of your injuries and outlining your plan for recovery
- Determine your benefits and ensure that they fairly address the severity of your losses
