California Construction Worker Lawyers
A construction site is a dangerous place to work. It requires careful planning to manage all the different crews on the site and constant attention to safety for everyone. Defective equipment or unsafe work practices can be fatal.
If your injury was caused by an employee of another company or by the actions of a subcontractor, you may have a third-party liability claim against the subcontractor. Claims could be brought against a subcontractor or supplier who left debris on the site or improperly loaded or unloaded materials, thus causing a dangerous situation.
When this happens, you should have a third-party claim over and above any workers’ compensation benefits you will receive for your workplace injury.
