    Common construction accidents

    • Falls from a height

    • Burn injuries
    • Crushed by an object

    Whatever type of construction accident you're dealing with, no matter how serious or straightforward things might seem, don't underestimate the complexity of your case. Talk to an attorney at our law firm today.

    Who is liable for construction injuries?

    The liable party in a Walnut Creek construction accident may vary depending on the particular circumstances of your accident. If you are a visitor to the site or were a pedestrian struck by a falling object or you slipped and fell due to an object in the walkway, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

    In order to file a successful claim, you will need to prove the negligence of an employee of the construction company or of the company itself caused your accident. Examples include poor observance of safety standards or a failure to maintain equipment, secure scaffolding or otherwise maintain proper safety and training at the site.

    Building a strong legal case typically requires a thorough analysis of your incident and exactly what led to your accident in order to determine what caused it and who should be held responsible. This might seem straightforward. But construction accident cases often turn out to be extremely complicated. That's why it's critical that you have an attorney on your side.
