California Construction Accident - Justice With SamProtecting Injured Construction Workers in Los Angeles
The Dangers of Construction Sites
Construction sites are inherently dangerous workplaces. Construction work poses significant risks to employees. The Law Offices of Sam N. Simantob understands the risks that construction workers face every day. We are committed to helping injured workers in Los Angeles and California understand the options open to them and securing the compensation they deserve.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Many factors can contribute to construction accidents. These include falls from heights such as scaffolding collapses, ladder accidents, falls from roofs, and falls through unprotected openings. Electrocutions can occur due to contact with live wires, faulty equipment, or improper grounding.
Being struck by objects like falling tools, materials, or equipment, or being struck by moving vehicles or machinery, is another common cause. Trench collapses, where unstable trenches cave in on workers, are a serious hazard. Equipment malfunctions, involving defective or poorly maintained equipment, including cranes, forklifts, and power tools, can lead to accidents. Finally, exposure to toxic substances, such as asbestos, lead, silica dust, and other harmful materials can cause long-term health problems.
Navigating Workers' Compensation and Third-Party Claims
Injured construction workers have legal options. Workers' compensation provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault. California workers' compensation laws provide a safety net for injured workers. However, in addition to workers' compensation, third-party claims may be possible.
These are lawsuits against negligent parties other than your employer such as subcontractors, general contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners. This situation can allow for recovery of damages not covered by workers' compensation.
