Construction Accident Injuries

Information presented by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) shows that approximately 20% of all work-related deaths during the most recent reporting year happened in the construction industry. Those who survive construction accidents often sustain severe injuries that require extensive medical care period some of the most common construction accident injuries include:

Workers’ Compensation for Construction Injuries

In California, nearly every construction employee is covered by workers’ compensation insurance. When an individual sustains an injury, these benefits will usually cover every medical bill related to the workplace accident. For those who are unable to work while they recover or those who sustain permanent injuries, there will be various types of wage replacement available through workers’ comp. 

Third-Party Lawsuits for Construction Injuries

In some cases, it may be necessary to step outside of the workers’ compensation system and file a personal injury lawsuit against an at-fault party. Usually, workers’ compensation laws prevent individuals from filing lawsuits against their employer or coworker, regardless of who caused the incident. However, if any other party aside from an employer was responsible for the incident, it may be possible to file a civil personal injury lawsuit.

This is not uncommon for incidents involving defective products, accidents caused by subcontractors or contractors, or an injury caused by any other third party.

Compensation Available for These Injuries

There may be various types of compensation available for individuals who sustain on-the-job construction accident injuries. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Coverage of all medical bills related to the injury
  • Lost wages for a victim if they cannot work
  • Property damage expenses
  • Assistance with various household out-of-pocket losses
  • Physical and emotional pain and suffering damages
