The Law Offices of Nadrich & Cohen has handled hundreds of construction accidents to a successful conclusion. A construction accident occurs usually when a worker is involved in some hazardous condition job during a major building, renovation, demolition, or excavation project. We have found on countless occasions employers who in order to save money or speed up the work do not provide the necessary safety equipment and devices required by law resulting in workers required to work in unsafe conditions using the wrong type of equipment or defective equipment.

These conditions place our clients at risk of injury or death.

We have represented workers, pedestrians, and even passers-by who are injured on a construction site. Oftentimes, construction sites are not secured by proper safety equipment.

More and more cases are occurring due to defective equipment.

If you were in a construction accident, it’s extremely important for you to contact us immediately. Call us at 1-800-718-4658. Remember, fellow construction workers who may be an important witness for you tend to move from job to job after completing their assignments such as excavation, framing, steel, concrete, demolition, etc. So its vitally important for you to contact us as soon as possible. Also, construction workers are often known by co-workers by a first name or nickname and are difficult to track down. We know how to track these people down. But we need to first represent you- the injured worker. Further, construction work progresses quickly and the accident scene vanishes quickly. Subcontractors and contractors come and go over the course of a project. It is very important for us to get involved right away so we can make sure exactly which contractor or subcontractor were present and responsible for the accident.

Please contact our intake specialists immediately by calling 800-718-4658 or by completing the questionnaire on the right. Remember, there is no charge for our services unless we first obtain a recovery.

It will cost you nothing for us to help you.

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.
