Construction Site Injury Lawyers in Los Angeles, California
Helping You Recover Damages for Personal Injury Even When You May Have a Separate Workers' Compensation Claim
If you are a construction worker and have been hurt on the job, you may think that your only avenue for recovery is under the California workers' compensation laws. To the contrary, depending on what caused your injury, you may also be entitled to damages in a personal injury action. You want an experienced attorney, one who can advise you of your rights, and who will aggressively advocate to get full and fair compensation for all your losses.
At the law office of Fisher & Talwar, we have extensive experience successfully representing construction workers in personal injury claims which may exist in addition to workers' compensation claims. We have successfully recovered tens of millions of dollars for personal injury victims, whether through litigation, mediation or arbitration. Because of our reputation for zealous advocacy, many of our clients come to us as referrals from attorneys and other clients. Please e-mail us or call our office at (213) 891-0777 to schedule a free initial consultation.
Recovering Compensation for Construction Accident Injuries
When you have been injured on a construction site or while working on a construction job, you may have a personal injury claim, a workers' compensation claim or in some cases, both. In many instances, you may have a workers' compensation claim against your employer. The workers' compensation laws were developed to remove much of the uncertainty that arises in the aftermath of a work-related injury. In exchange for relinquishing the right to sue your employer, you are entitled to certain benefits, including wage replacement, medical coverage, vocational rehabilitation, and other assistance.
We work extensively with construction workers who have claims outside of the workers' compensation system, often against third parties who provided equipment or services relating to the construction site. The California workers' compensation laws apply only to injuries caused by your employer. If we can establish negligence by a supplier, vendor, subcontractor or other third party, we will zealously pursue additional compensation for your injury. We handle all types of personal injury claims, including accidental or wrongful death actions. For more information, see our personal injury page.
We handle all construction accident claims on a contingency fee basis. The attorney's fee that we charge you will be a percentage of the amount we recover on your behalf. If we do not recover any money, we will not charge you any fee.
To schedule a free initial consultation or to discuss your personal injury claim, please e-mail us or call (213) 891-0777. We are open from 8:30 am until 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and evenings and weekends by appointment.
