Thread: California construction accidents cause severe personal injuries. Can you recover fro

When you have been injured in a construction accident, if you are an employee in California, you are entitled to worker's compensation benefits. However, those benefits are severely limited. You receive reduced pay during your recovery, medical treatment that can be slow and incomplete and you are not entitled to pain and suffering damages.

A lawyer, experienced in California law, can investigate the accident to determine if you are entitled to additional financial recovery. You can call us to investigate those possible claims without any cost to you.

While worker's compensation rights are the exclusive remedy against your employer, worker's compensation law does not protect other negligent companies or individuals working around you that caused or contributed to the accident. As an example, if you are working at a construction site and another subcontractor drops a beam or truss because of improper handling, causing you to suffer severe injury, you have a worker's compensation case, but you also have a case against the subcontractor. You are not allowed to recover duplicate damages. However, what workers compensation does not pay you, your claim against the subcontractor must.

Investigation is very important before evidence is lost. You must also make every effort to involve a good lawyer immediately. This allows the proper documentation of your case early so that it can be won.

Well all I can say about this is that next time you work at a construction site or any were you should ask how much do they cover if you was to get hurt on the job.

An injured party who institutes a wrongful death case might also recover money damages for: past and future doctor, hospital, therapy and medical bills; past and future lost wages; out of pocket expenditures; pain and suffering; loss of life's enjoyment; and a loss of consortium claim for a spouse. Additionally, an economist might have to be hired to determine the extent of any future lost wage or loss of opportunity claim.

i think it costs more

It's better to check company's contract before engaging with them. Thought sometimes we neglect it because we don't have time reading all of the contract.
