Our San Diego Construction Accident Lawyers Know How to Document and Pursue Fair Damages
Construction accidents occur in many different ways and cause a wide range and severity of injuries. Some people suffer relatively minor injuries, seek treatment with their family doctor or at a walk-in clinic, and miss a day or two from work. Others suffer catastrophic injuries, spend months reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI), and never return to the workforce because of their new disabilities.
Our personal injury attorneys are here to help you regardless of the severity of your construction site injuries. We have the experience, skill, and resources to develop a case based on even the most traumatic, severe injuries. We have helped clients recover money for:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Back and neck injuries
- Crush injuries
- Amputation
- Severe or widespread burns
- Electrocution
- Loss of vision or hearing
Before pursuing cash for a client based on a construction accident, we need to understand their injuries, expenses, and losses. This requires us to document their costs to date, analyze their medical records, work with experts to estimate their future care needs, and take other steps to calculate a fair settlement range for the case. We will also use this evidence at trial to litigate the case, if necessary.
Some of the damages we frequently recover for clients hurt in a San Diego construction accident include:
- Medical care to date and in the future
- Ongoing support and care for long-term or permanent injuries
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Related expenses such as parking, transportation, or traveling to see a doctor
- Pain and suffering and other types of non-economic damages
Our San Diego wrongful death lawyers sometimes handle these cases. The California wrongful death statutes allow surviving family members to recover compensation if the victim of a construction accident dies from their injuries.
Alternatively, occasionally, we will see a construction worker who has workers’ compensation coverage hurt on the job. When this occurs, our San Diego workers’ compensation attorney may handle the case. They help injured victims get the benefits they deserve or negotiate fair settlements with the workers’ comp insurance companies.

Schedule NowHow Our Construction Accident Attorneys Build a San Diego Case
Construction accidents often occur because of a property owner or general contractor who fails to provide a safe working environment, follow regulations from federal or state agencies, or protect individuals from negligent subcontractors or other liable parties.
Some ways individuals on construction sites or working on projects suffer injuries include:
- Collisions, including vehicle vs. pedestrian accidents
- Forklift accidents
- Incidents involving cranes and other heavy machines
- Falls, including from ladder or scaffolding
- Getting hit by dropped, falling, or poorly secured objects or materials
- Electrocution
- Burns, often from caustic chemicals, spills, or explosions
- Defective tools
- Being caught in or between objects
If your injuries occurred while you were working on a construction project or visiting a site, you could have a strong case to recover compensation for your medical care and other expenses.
When you hire us to manage your case, we will take the necessary steps to investigate what happened, gather evidence, identify the liable parties, research the insurance coverage available, and demand fair compensation based on your injuries and damages.
As a part of our investigation, we will preserve and analyze evidence to understand what happened and who is legally responsible. The evidence in these cases could include:
- Eyewitness statements
- Video of the accident
- Documentation of the site, such as photos, videos, or a site survey
- Official reports from state or federal agencies or law enforcement
- Citations issued to the site owner or general contractor
- Medical records for victims
- Expert testimony from medical specialists, economists, and industry experts
- Medical bills, receipts, and other proof of losses
Using the details and evidence we gather from this investigation, we can determine who is liable and what insurance coverage is available. Potentially liable parties include the property owner, the general contractor, a third party also working on the site, or the manufacturer of a defective tool.
