Every day, millions go to work at more than 250,000 construction sites in the United States. Obviously, construction is one of the most dangerous kinds of work. Construction workers routinely deal with dangerous scaffolding, electrical wiring, excavations, plumbing systems, and more. Just on scaffolds, about 4,500 building workers are injured annually, and about fifty of those injuries are fatal. While a construction site injury can be severe or even disabling, it’s also going to be complicated legally. The U.S. Department of Labor alone administers over 180 federal laws that cover workplace activities and accidents. At Thon Beck Vanni Callahan & Powell, our Pasadena construction accident attorneys know the labor regulations, and we have thirty years of experience representing the victims of construction accidents in southern California. In you’re injured at a construction site, seek medical attention immediately, and then call a Pasadena construction accident lawyer.
THIRTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
While most employees in California are covered by workers’ compensation, those benefits alone are rarely (or barely) adequate to compensate for the true cost of construction-related injuries, a cost that can be quite substantial when an injury is severe. In addition to workers’ compensation, you may have grounds to file a third-party personal injury claim if someone other than your employer shares responsibility for your injury; that could potentially include negligent contractors or property owners, defective equipment manufacturers, negligent equipment operators, or others with responsibility for your injury.
