Who Is Liable for a Construction Accident in California?

RKM's Ventura construction accident attorneys will help determine compensation liability

As a construction employee, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation lawsuit after any workplace injury. If you are hurt on the job, you can file your claim under your employer’s coverage regardless of fault or negligence. Through this type of claim, you can recover benefits for medical care, wage replacement, and long-term disability.

There are certain situations where you could pursue a lawsuit following your construction accident. For example, if you are not an employee of the construction site and your accident occurred due to someone else’s negligence, you could file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. As an employee, you have the right to file a lawsuit if a third party caused your injury, such as the manufacturer of a defective power tool or negligent subcontractor.

You may wonder if you could file a lawsuit against your employer if you are injured on the job. In most cases, employees are not eligible to sue their employers. Filing a workers’ compensation claim prevents you from pursuing a lawsuit as well.

However, you could file a lawsuit if your case involves certain circumstances, such as the following.

  • Your employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance, despite being required by California law to provide this coverage.
  • You were intentionally assaulted by your employer, or your employer sanctioned an assault against you by another employee.
  • You were injured by a power press that did not have a machine guard or had the guard removed.
