Construction workers often face dangerous working conditions and many construction workers are seriously injured or killed while doing their job on construction sites. Many terrible personal injuries are caused by poor safety procedures, negligence, faulty equipment, poor supervision – and most could have been prevented. Falls, electrical accidents, nail gun and equipment accidents at construction sites may result in severe personal injury such as spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, severed limb, quadriplegia, paraplegia, fractured bones and death. Under the California Workers’ Compensation Act, state regulations may preclude an employee from making a claim against the employer for work related injuries and limit the employee to workers’ compensation. There are certain circumstances, however, where a skilled attorney can help an injured construction worker recover damages when another party has been negligent in safety precautions taken on a construction site. If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a construction accident, the first step in your legal recovery is to meet with a skilled attorney to discuss the situation.
