Employers are responsible for the safety of their workers, providing a safe work environment and necessary protective gear to prevent any accidental injuries, this also applies to construction workers. But when construction accident occur as a result of superintendent negligence or carelessness on the part of the employer, injured workers can seek compensation for all of the damages related to their injury.
Types of Construction Accident Injuries

- Fall injuries (from scaffolds, skylights, etc.)
- Broken bones
- Loss of limb/amputation
- Electrical injuries
- Spinal cord injury
- Brain injury
- Paralysis
Why Worker’s Compensation is Not Enough
Especially in California, where the benefits of worker’s compensation is the lowest in the nation, worker’s compensation is rarely sufficient to cover all of the necessary medical expenses and support the injured and their family. Disability payments are only a fraction of the salary a worker would have received and are restricted in time. Medical benefits are also limited, and injured workers have little access to physical therapy and chiropractic care that is often necessary to ensure proper recovery.
