Marina District Construction Accident Attorneys
Construction sites offer some of the most hazardous working environments. Every year, more than 4,000 workers are killed in construction accidents and have one of the highest rates of work place injury than in any single industry. In the event of an injury accident, workers can seek financial support from the state’s Worker’s Compensation program. Unfortunately, for many seriously injured workers, the benefits awarded by Worker’s Compensation offers inadequate support, forcing workers to continue working despite their injuries.
Serious Construction Accidents
According to the Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration, over 3.3 million workers suffer workplace injuries from which they never recover. Serious injuries can leave incapacitating disabilities, chronic pain, and permanently reduce a worker’s earning capacity. Some of the most common types of serious injuries associated with construction accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Fractures/broken bones
- Electrical accidents
- Internal organ injuries
- Burn injuries
- Spinal cord injuries.
Your Rightful Compensation
As one of the nations most underfunded Worker’s Compensation program, in California, the benefits awarded to injured workers are severely limited. The number of medical visits, the quality of care, and access to therapy (physical, occupational, etc.) under Worker’s Compensation is restricted, making it difficult for seriously injured victims to achieve their optimal recovery. If your injuries were the result of inadequate training, defective equipment, an unreasonably hazardous working environment, or the negligence of another party, you may be entitled to additional compensation by filing a personal injury suit. A successful third party suit can help you recover damages for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
