Construction Site Accident & Injury Claims

A construction site may be a dangerous place to work, visit, or even walk by. If you, a friend or a family member was injured at or near a construction site in the Oakland area, a lawyer at our law firm can talk to you about your legal options in filing a personal injury lawsuit to seek financial damages. Depending on the case, you may be able to recover benefits under workers' compensation (if you were working at the time of the accident) or may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the construction company for negligence. With experience and knowledge in this field, an attorney can properly evaluate the matter to determine your best course of action.

Oakland Construction Accidents: Who is Liable?

The liable party in an Oakland construction accident may vary depending on the particular situation. If you are a visitor to the site or were a pedestrian struck by a falling object or who slipped and fell due to an object in the walkway, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. You would need to prove the negligence of an employee of the construction company or of the company itself, such as poor observance of safety standards or a failure to maintain equipment, secure scaffolding or otherwise maintain proper safety and training at the site. It will typically require a thorough analysis of the incident and exactly what led to the accident in order to determine what caused it to occur and who should be held responsible.
