The Leading Causes Of Construction Fatalities
You are very misled if you think that construction injuries are typically minor. According to OSHA, the four most common causes of construction fatalities are also widespread severe injuries not resulting in a loss of life. These injuries are caused by the following:
- Falls – Falls account for over a third of all fatalities and countless life-altering injuries to construction workers each year
- Struck By Object – These incidents account for almost 10% of all fatalities and a substantial number of severe injuries each year
- Caught In Or Between – Over 5% of all construction site deaths are caused when a worker falls into or is crushed between equipment or objects and resulting in many permanent disabilities
- Electrocution – Few construction workers would guess that nearly 10% of all construction deaths are related to electricity, as are numerous significant injuries
Sadly, most construction workers never realize or contemplate the hazards surrounding them daily when they go to work. They simply do their jobs to provide for their family and contribute to the community. But any construction worker could be injured as an innocent bystander even after taking all the proper safety precautions when these events occur on a construction site:
- Welding Accident
- Building Or Scaffolding Collapse
- Fire
- Explosion
- Heavy Equipment Or Tool Failure
If you have suffered an injury while working on a California construction site, you deserve total compensation for your injuries. The staff at Kenmore Law Group is here to help you sort through the details of the event and determine who is liable for your injuries and the expenses you have incurred as a result. Contact our office today to schedule a free consultation.
You Have More Than One Option
Most construction workers are well aware of worker’s compensation and the benefits they offer to cover medical bills and partial lost wages. However, that is not all you might be entitled to for the injuries and pain you have endured. When an accident can be traced back to someone’s negligence, additional options are open to injury victims like yourself. The personal injury lawyers at Kenmore Law Group are here to help you understand how you could be able to seek additional compensation through a civil lawsuit if any of the following parties are found to be negligent and liable for your injuries:
- Property Owners
- Construction Supervisors
- General Contractors
- Subcontractors
- Designers, Engineers, Or Architects
- Tool Manufacturers
- Heavy Equipment Manufacturers
- Equipment Rental Companies
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today to discuss your injuries and the event that caused them to determine if you could be eligible for added compensation due to the negligence of someone working at or related to the construction site where your injuries occurred.
What Are The Time Limits For Filing A Lawsuit?
Many construction workers are never made aware of the potential for a claim against any party involved in the construction project where they were injured. Instead, they are told to take advantage of the worker’s comp benefits and be glad to have them. However, the responsible parties know that, in most cases, all they need to do is keep the injured workers from filing a civil claim for two years after the date of their injuries. This two-year time is the Statute of Limitations for most personal injury cases. And if you do not file within two years, you lose the right to make a claim.
However, if the party at fault is a government agency or the job is a typical prevailing wage project, you have only six months to file your claim. The Statute of Limitations is much shorter when a government agency is involved. So contact the experts at Kenmore Law Group as soon as possible after your California construction accident injury to determine if you have a right to file a civil lawsuit to recover the total compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.
What Is The Possible Value Of A Construction Injury Civil Lawsuit?
The only way to determine the possible amount of your verdict or settlement is to meet with the team at Kenmore Law Group. The staff will help you determine which expenses and losses can be included in your civil case. If you have opened a claim with worker’s comp for medical bills and lost wages, you will not be able to reclaim those amounts in a civil case. However, the typical items included in a civil case include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Legal fees
- Personal Property Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
Your legal team at Kenmore Law Group will assist you in evaluating the expenses you incurred that qualify for inclusion in your civil case.
