How Can a California Construction Accident Attorney Help?

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to pursue additional compensation by filing a lawsuit. A construction accident lawyer on our legal team can conduct an in-depth investigation to determine whether a third party was to blame for your accident. Under the workers’ comp system, your employer is protected from litigation, which means you can only file a lawsuit if a third party was to blame for your accident and subsequent injuries. 

During this challenging time, a construction accident lawyer at the Ibrahim Law Firm will help by:

  • Investigating the accident
  • Gathering evidence
  • Interviewing witnesses
  • Consulting with experts
  • Calculating damages
  • Filing paperwork
  • Handling all interactions with the insurance company or defense attorney
  • Negotiating a fair settlement
  • Filing a lawsuit, if necessary
  • Representing you in court

During the accident investigation, our legal team will consider the following elements:

  • Whether any safety violations were made by a third party
  • The condition of the job site
  • What power tools and equipment was used
  • What safety equipment was used
  • What hazards on the site could have caused or contributed to your accident

Your construction accident lawyer will seek compensation for damages such as medical bills, potential loss of wages and future earnings, and pain and suffering. This compensation can be recovered from the negligent party through settlement negotiations or by court judgment.

What Are the Leading Causes Of Construction Site Accidents?

Accidents on construction sites can occur for many reasons from defective power tools and equipment to falling objects, wet surfaces, and obstructed walkways. 
Over the years, the construction accident attorneys at the Ibrahim Law Firm have handled countless construction accident cases that were caused by:

  • Falls
  • Electrocution
  • Fire
  • Improperly used cranes
  • Weak hoists
  • Caught in/between
  • Struck by equipment
  • Forklift accidents
  • Dangerous scaffolding
  • Negligently operated trucks
  • Defective power tools or machinery
  • Heavy machinery accident

Regardless of how or why your accident occurred, if it was caused by dangerous, hazardous, or negligent conditions, your construction accident lawyer will build a strong case that will hold the negligent party liable for your damages.

Do I Have to Hire a Construction Accident Lawyer?

Even if you file a workers’ compensation claim, if the injuries you sustained were the result of a third party’s negligence, then you may be entitled to additional compensation. A construction accident caused by a third party can warrant a third-party claim. A construction accident attorney at the Ibrahim Law Firm can review your case and investigate the accident to determine whether a third party was negligent. 
You may be entitled to compensation such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, time missed at work, and more. 

You may not even realize that someone besides your employer was to blame for the negligent conditions that resulted in your accident. If you’re injured and focused on your recovery and getting back to work, you may not want to deal with the frustration and hassle of building a case and proving liability. This can result in you leaving money on the table. Construction accidents can be very complex because of the different parties involved. 

Let the legal team at the Ibrahim Law Firm handle every aspect of your case, as you focus on your recovery and moving forward with your life. While you’re not required by state law to hire a construction accident lawyer to represent you and handle your case, doing so can significantly increase your chances of a successful outcome.

As you focus on continuing vital medical treatment and recovering from your injuries, your attorney will take care of every aspect of your case, ensuring you recover the compensation you deserve.
