Construction Site Injuries/Third Party Lawsuits. 

If you are injured while working in or around any type of construction site and are a construction worker such as a laborer, plumber, electrician, shipyard worker, sheet metal worker, carpenter, framer, pipe fitter, etc. you may have a claim for personal injuries because a third party other than your direct employer caused the accident. What happens in construction site accidents is that these types of workers are frequently employed by sub contractors who are then employed or contracted with a general contractor for the job.

If you are injured on a construction site because of the negligence of an employee of another sub contractor or of the general contractor, then you have a potential third party case against either the sub contractor, general contractor, or property owner. A third party case means that we can obtain for you the full monetary damages as an injured worker that you would otherwise be entitled to in any personal injury case including pain and suffering, actual medical bills, present and future loss of income, diminished future earning capacity and any and all other components of damages recoverable under California law. You are therefore not limited to the smaller recoveries in a worker's compensation settlement.

We specialize in these types of construction accident third party cases. We will file the claim against the third party which is either a sub-contractor, general contractor or the property owner.

We can also file a third party case if the injury was caused by defective equipment or tools. We have done so many times. We will file a products liability case against the manufacturer of the defective equipment.

Please contact us to discuss whether or not there is a third party case in your construction site incident. To determine whether or not there is a personal injury or third party case requires our in-depth experience and analysis as we have handled hundreds of third party personal injury cases for construction workers.
