Why Construction Accidents Are So Common in California

Los Angeles continues to experience rapid growth in commercial and residential construction. From high-rise projects downtown to residential builds in the Valley, workers are constantly exposed to environments where one mistake can cause serious harm. California law sets strict rules about how sites must be managed, including regulations on scaffolding, protective equipment, signage, electrical wiring, and access control.

Despite these protections, many contractors, subcontractors, and site owners cut corners. This leads to preventable injuries and puts everyone at risk. If you were hurt on a site where safety protocols were ignored, our attorneys can step in and investigate what went wrong.

Common Hazards That Lead to Construction Injuries

We represent individuals injured in a wide range of construction site incidents. These are some of the most common causes:

• Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or unfinished flooring
• Falling tools or debris from above
• Electrical shocks or exposed wiring
• Trench collapses and cave-ins
• Equipment malfunctions or machinery rollovers
• Inadequate fall protection or missing guardrails
• Collisions with vehicles or heavy machinery

We also handle catastrophic injury cases where victims have suffered brain injuries, paralysis, or loss of limbs. Our team works with medical professionals, life care planners, and engineers to fully document what happened and what you will need in the future.

Third-Party Liability in Construction Accidents

Many injured workers assume that workers’ compensation is the only path forward. While it is a critical part of recovery, it does not always cover everything. If someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a separate claim for additional compensation.

For example:

• A subcontractor failed to secure the equipment that caused your injury
• A property owner knew of a hazard but failed to warn you
• A manufacturer sold defective machinery that malfunctioned
• A delivery driver hit you while dropping materials at the site

These third-party claims can provide compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and future losses—damages that workers’ comp does not cover. Our firm routinely handles overlapping workers’ compensation claims and will walk you through what is possible in your case.

Construction Site Visitors and Bystander Claims

Not all construction accident victims are workers. If you were walking past a construction zone in Los Angeles and were struck by falling debris or injured by fencing or site materials, you may still have a legal claim. These cases are often rooted in premises liability, which holds property owners and contractors accountable for failing to protect the public.

You do not have to be on the payroll to deserve justice. If you were hurt as a pedestrian, tenant, or visitor near an active construction site, we are ready to help.

Why These Cases Require Quick Action

Construction accident claims involve fast-changing conditions and multiple parties. Evidence may be lost within days, and witnesses may move on to other sites. It is critical to act quickly so that scene photos, inspection records, safety logs, and equipment data can be preserved.

At Need Justice Now, APC, we immediately begin an independent investigation. We work with safety consultants, site supervisors, and industry experts to identify violations and preserve key details. You do not need to gather this information on your own. That is our job.
