San Francisco Construction Accident Lawyer

California has a robust construction industry with thousands of workers performing their craft every day. Construction work is dangerous, and there are many factors that play into the health and safety of workers at construction projects. Factors that lead to accidents in these high-risk environments include the use of heavy equipment, fall and tripping hazards, miscommunication between trades, unsafe work platforms and scaffold systems, inadequate personal protective equipment, and a lack of knowledge of safe work practices.

Because of the potential risks and the sheer volume of construction work, there is an alarmingly high number of construction site accidents in California. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 463 fatal workplace injuries in California in 2021. Just under 100 of those fatalities occurred on construction sites. If you have been injured while working on a construction site, contact a seasoned workplace injury attorney from our team. A San Francisco construction accident lawyer could investigate the cause of your injury and help you hold those at fault accountable.

Workplace Accident Investigations

Everyone in the state of California is entitled to a safe work environment. When an individual is seriously injured on the job, the employer should contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to investigate. Employer-led workplace investigations do not always involve the necessary resources and/or motives to truly determine the root cause of an injury. Because of this, seeking legal counsel as soon as possible after a construction site injury in San Francisco is essential to ensure a proper and thorough investigation can be performed.

Who is Responsible for a Construction Site Accident?

Construction accident litigation can be complicated because many different people, businesses, and employers may share responsibility for creating the unsafe work environment and be responsible for causing the ultimate harm. Therefore, choosing a knowledgeable San Francisco attorney who understands exactly how to handle construction site injury and death cases is critical.
