What Party’s Considered Liable In Construction Accidents In Oakland?

Construction sites are complex. Therefore, it’s often difficult to nail down liability in construction accidents. Moreover, there are several different people that work in construction, increasing the complexity of determining liability. For example, here’s a short list of some of the different people and entities that can carry liability in construction accident cases:

  • Supervisors
  • Insurance providers
  • Property owners
  • The construction company
  • Architects
  • Designers
  • Equipment manufacturers
  • Suppliers
  • Managers
  • And more

$240 Million

Trial attorney Brooks Cutter took a lead role in a nationwide case against Boston Scientific and Guidant following a recall of the manufacturer’s pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators.

$7.6 Million

Medical malpractice jury verdict on behalf of a young woman who suffered a spinal cord injury after doctors failed to diagnose a tumor on her spine.

$ 2.4 Million

Brooks Cutter and Margot Cutter won a $2.4 million dollar verdict on behalf of the children of a man who died after a staff doctor at a hospital lied and transferred a patient to another hospital that was not equipped to handle the patient.

$1.85 Million

Attorneys Todd Walburg and Celine Cutter represented a cyclist in Sonoma County, California who suffered a broken jaw and a mild traumatic brain injury after she rode her bike through a large pothole. 

Is It Possible To Collect Workers’ Compensation And File A Construction Lawsuit At The Same Time?

It may surprise you to find out, but you can most definitely collect workers’ compensation and file a construction accident lawsuit at the same time (in California, at least). Unfortunately, you can only do both if a third-party provider insured your workspace.

If you’re unsure whether or not your situation applies, then don’t fret. Just contact our legal team for assistance.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations On Filing An Oakland Construction Site Injury Claim?

Yes, there is a statute of limitations (time limit) on filing an Oakland construction site injury claim. It’s the same as the statute of limitations for other areas of personal injury law. For injury claims in California, the statue of limitations is typically two years after the date of the incident. However, if the plaintiff didn’t discover their injury right away, then the statute of limitations is one year from the discovery of the injury.

Common Types Of Construction Accidents In Oakland

Since construction sites vary in complexity, danger, and more, there are several different common types of injuries associated with construction accidents in Oakland. Some of the most common examples include:

  • Broken And/or Fractured Bones And Muscle Injuries – Broken bones and muscle injuries are very, very common examples of construction site accident injuries.
  • Back Injuries – Due to the heavy machinery and dangerous nature of most construction sites, back injuries are commonplace. Also, construction sites often involve lifting heavy objects, which also contribute to the high number of back injuries in the field.
  • Cuts And Lacerations – Again, due to the dangerous nature of most construction sites and tools, cuts and lacerations happen all the time. Generally, these are minor injuries, but, depending on the circumstances of the accident, they can become quite serious.
  • Hearing/Vision Injuries – Loud and sudden noises, regular exposure to loud sounds, sharp materials, chemicals, and other common issues on any construction site can cause a large number of vision and hearing-related injuries.

There's this thing about lawyers ... they often forget the first word in their title, Counselor at Law. Well, Margo Cutter practices the full spectrum of her profession. Though she has not represented me in litigation, I have benefited from her kind support and sound counsel regarding a traumatic injury I sustained due the negligence of others and the subsequent unbearable pursuit for justice. Thank you, Margo.
