Who's Liable In Construction Accidents In Sacramento?

Also, several different people work on construction sites. For example, depending on the circumstances of the accident, liability can fall on any of the following people:

The company the plaintiff works for
Direct supervisor(s)

Can You Collect Workers' Compensation And File A Construction Accident Lawsuit Simultaneously?

The short answer here is, usually, a resounding “yes.” However, that “yes” only applies if your employer’s worksite was insured by a third party insurance provider. If a third party provider insured your worksite, then you can file a construction accident lawsuit in Sacramento while you’re already collecting workers’ compensation.

Okay, that answer was probably a little bit confusing. Let’s see if we can clear it up a bit. In most situations, you can both collect workers’ compensation and file a construction accident injury lawsuit. However, if you’re unsure if your particular situation applies to the rule mentioned above, then contact us. We can help you determine if you’re eligible for both workers’ compensation and to file a lawsuit.

Is There A Statute Of Limitations On Sacramento Construction Site Injury Claims?

The statute of limitations on Sacramento construction site injury claims is the same as it is for all other personal injury lawsuits. According to California Law, that statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. However, if the plaintiff didn’t discover their injury right away, then the statute of limitations is one year from the date of discovery.

The Most Common Types Of Construction Accidents In Sacramento

There are several different types of injuries suffered due to construction accidents in Sacramento. Some of the most common types of accidents and injuries include:

Back Injuries – Injuring your back on the construction site is incredibly common. Back injuries on the site are often contributed to things like falls and heavy machinery (crushing).
Broken/Fractured Bones and Muscle Injuries – Breaking/fracturing bones and muscle injuries (like sprains) are other incredibly common construction site accidents. After all, construction often involves heavy lifting and heavy machinery. So, it’s clear why broken bones and muscle injuries are so common at the construction site.
Cuts And Lacerations – Since construction often involves using sharp tools and materials, cuts and lacerations are common.
Loss of Limb – Again, due to heavy machinery, sharp tools, and dangerous materials, loss of limb (or digit) is common on the construction site.
Hearing and Vision Injuries – Sudden noises, regular exposure to loud sounds, sharp materials, chemicals, and other common issues on any construction site. Even though they’re commonplace, those previously mentioned things often cause serious hearing in vision 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.

Their people were professional, thorough, and expressed true consideration in their deliverance. I highly recommend them to anyone.

CL took on my personal injury injury case without me needing to put in a retainer fee all while making sure I was prepared and on time for my court dates. You can always try submitting a case evaluation to see if they are the right attorneys for you before committing.
