Your investment is in your health and the time you give to tell your story. We are only paid when we win the case.

Q: Does the initial evaluation obligate me in any way?

Q: I have been injured while working at a construction accident site in California. What should I do now?

A: If you have been injured in a construction accident, the most important thing to do is to get medical attention right away. You should also get legal advice and speak to a California construction accident lawyer to discuss the details of your accident. California law entitles injured victims to financial compensation for injuries they have suffered as a result of negligence on the part of another party. You can sue any person or company whose fault contributed to your injuries other than your employer.

Q: How long do I have to file a claim?

A: A person who has been injured at a construction site or the family of a person killed in a wrongful death construction accident has two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. In a case where a government entity is involved, the claim must be filed within six months from the date of the accident. In order to locate witnesses and preserve critical evidence it is important to contact a California construction accident lawyer as soon as possible following a construction accident.

Q: Can I file a lawsuit against a company that caused my injury if I am collecting workers’ compensation benefits?

A: Yes. If you can prove that somebody other than your employer was at fault for your injuries then you can file a lawsuit even if you are collecting workers’ compensation benefits. However, you may have to pay out some of your recovery back to the workers’ compensation carrier.

Q: What are the most common types of construction injuries?

A: Serious accidents and even death happen on a regular basis on California construction accident sites. According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), the most common injuries involve falls, electrical injuries, burn injuries, power-tool/equipment accidents, excavation accidents, crane accidents, trench accidents, welding accidents, burns, and hazardous materials on the construction site.

Q: Is it important to hire a lawyer that has experience handling construction accident injury cases?

A: It is extremely important that you hire a law firm that has extensive experience handling construction accident cases. Even though most construction accident cases are settled out of court, it’s important to hire a law firm that has experience in the courtroom in case the other side does not offer you fair and just compensation for your accident. Our law firm will do whatever is needed to win your case, including hiring construction practice and safety experts in order to get the settlement you deserve.

Testimonials

I was in the construction industry for 27 years with no accidents but one day I fell over 20 feet and broke both legs and ankle. I was getting workers' compensation that did not cover my expenses and I was getting behind on my house and other payments. To make matters worse, I was not getting medical treatment for some of my injuries. I went on line and found CCAA and hired Grant and Dean. They prosecuted my case and I ended up with a settlement close to 2 million dollars. During my case Grant and Dean kept me informed and were always available to me. They hired the best experts and got me to doctors who were able to get me on the road to recovery. I didn't have to pay anything.

I live outside the state of California. I fell and broke my neck due to a defective boot product. Grant explained the civil lawsuit process and the timing without any pressure to retain him. After I decided to hire him as my lawyer he filed the civil case in San Diego Superior Court. He prepared all of the paper work and discovery with minimal work by me. I was included in the depositions of corporate defendants and representatives and explained the importance of each. He prepared me for my deposition and defended me during questionning. Litigation costs and expenses were paid without any obligation or hassle by me. Good experts were retained. conducted extensive and expensive tests then gave helpful opinions that helped resolve the case. The best medical doctors were obtained to examine and opine on my medical future. Grant and Dean went through days of mediations and attempted to resolve the case before preparing for trial. The case was finally resolved after trial call for one million dollars. Due to their efforts I am able to work part time because of neck limitations.
