Construction Accident Lawyers in California

Seeking Justice for Injured California Construction Workers

Construction work remains dangerous, even when workers follow all safety protocols. If you suffer an injury on the job, you may be unable to work temporarily or, in serious cases, permanently. Workers’ compensation exists to help you recover and return to work. However, many employers and insurance carriers often fail to provide full coverage for workplace injuries or may deny claims. An experienced construction accident attorney in California can help you pursue all the benefits owed to you after a job-related injury.

At Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld, our California construction injury lawyers bring over 65 years of experience and dedication to helping injured workers. We focus on individuals, not employers or insurance companies. We leave no stone unturned in seeking the maximum compensation possible in your case.

If you or a loved one has been injured, let our construction accident lawyer in California assist you throughout your claim. Call us at (805) 243-2179.

Comprehensive Construction Injury Legal Support in CA

Construction accident laws in California differ from other states. Our California construction accident attorneys can explain how these laws apply to your circumstances, ensuring that you know all potential legal avenues. 

Our team assists clients with:

  • Construction Site Injuries: We handle a broad range of construction site injuries, including falls, equipment accidents, electrocutions, and other incidents caused by negligence or unsafe conditions.
  • Third-Party Liability Claims: In addition to workers’ compensation claims, we examine third-party liability options against subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners who may share responsibility for your accident.
  • OSHA Violations: If your construction accident involved Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations, we use this as a key element in building a compelling claim for compensation.
  • Wrongful Death Claims: For families who lost a loved one in a construction accident, we pursue wrongful death claims to seek justice and financial compensation for your tragic loss.
  • Negotiation and Litigation: We negotiate with insurance companies and, when necessary, are prepared to take your case to court for the best possible outcome.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents 

Construction sites present many hazards that increase the risk of injury for workers. 

Frequent causes of accidents include: 

  • Falls from heights
  • Being struck by objects
  • Electrocution
  • Equipment malfunctions
  • Unsafe site management 
  • Poor communication 

Heavy machinery such as cranes, forklifts, and excavators also contribute to accident risks, especially when not properly maintained or operated by trained personnel. Construction zones near major highways and in urban centers face increased exposure to vehicle accidents. Understanding these local risk factors is essential for anyone seeking compensation.
