Construction AccidentsDetermining the available remedies can be complicated when a worker is injured on a construction site. Employers in California are required to carry Workers' Compensation insurance. A Workers' Compensation claim is typically the only available remedy if the worker is injured due to his or his employer's negligence. Unfortunately, Workers' Compensation benefits do not include recovery for pain and suffering and obtaining full recovery for your past and future lost earnings is often impossible in the Workers' Compensation system. Therefore, in order to obtain full compensation it is very important to determine if a third party is responsible for your accident. When a third party is responsible for the accident the injured worker in addition to a Workers' Compensation claim may also have the right to recover compensation directly from the third party. Property owners, architects, engineers, other contractors on site and those responsible for the equipment being used may be liable under certain circumstances.
