Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld Relentlessly Protecting California Workers' Rights Since 1956

Construction Accident Lawyers in California 

Seek Justice for Construction Injuries in Santa Barbara

Construction work can be dangerous, even when all safety protocols are followed. If you are injured on the job, you may be out of work temporarily, or permanently, depending on the severity of your injuries. Workers’ compensation is there to help you get better and back to work. However, many employers and their insurance carriers fail to cover the full extent of injuries to their workers or deny their claims. An experienced Santa Barbara construction accident attorney can help you get all the benefits you are entitled to when you’ve been injured on the job. 

At Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld, our California construction injury lawyers have over 65 years of experience and dedication to helping injured workers. We focus on helping the individual, not the employer or insurance company. We leave no stone unturned as we seek the maximum compensation in your case. 

Comprehensive Construction Injury Legal Support in CA

  • Construction Site Injuries: We handle a wide range of construction site injuries, including falls, equipment accidents, electrocutions, and other incidents resulting from negligence or unsafe conditions.
  • Third-Party Liability Claims: In addition to workers' compensation claims, we explore third-party liability claims against parties such as subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners who may share responsibility for the accident.
  • OSHA Violations: If the construction accident resulted from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations, we use this as a critical component in building a compelling case for compensation.
  • Wrongful Death Claims: For families who have lost a loved one in a construction accident, we pursue wrongful death claims to seek justice and financial compensation for the tragic loss.
  • Negotiation and Litigation: We engage in skillful negotiation with insurance companies and, when necessary, are prepared to take your case to court to secure a favorable outcome.
