Have You Been Injured at a Construction Site in Los Angeles?

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous work environments in California. When a serious injury occurs, it’s not always your direct employer who is to blame. In many cases, a third-party contractor, property owner, or another business entity may be responsible for creating unsafe conditions that lead to devastating accidents. At Impact Attorneys, our Los Angeles construction site injury lawyers help workers and their families pursue full compensation through both workers’ compensation and third-party lawsuits—depending on the circumstances of your case.

If you or a loved one has been hurt on a construction site due to the negligence of someone other than your employer, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to a workers’ comp claim. This third-party claim allows you to seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages not covered by the workers’ comp system.

Real Results: $1 Million Construction Injury Settlement

Our firm recently secured a $1,000,000 settlement for a construction worker who suffered a serious injury while working on a residential roofing project. The worker fell through an uncovered and unmarked roof window frame. At first glance, it seemed like the roofing company might be responsible. However, as we investigated further, we discovered that the general contractor overseeing the job had instructed his team to quickly cover the roof due to incoming rain—without properly marking or placing barriers around the open window frames.

In his rush to beat the storm, the general contractor failed to implement basic safety measures that could have prevented the fall entirely. He instructed his crew to lay down tarps but neglected to put up warning signs or secure the site. This kind of oversight is not just dangerous—it’s negligent. Thanks to our thorough investigation and aggressive representation, we were able to file a third-party construction accident lawsuit and hold the general contractor accountable.

This case highlights the value of filing a personal injury claim beyond workers’ compensation. Through the discovery process, we were able to demand documents, interview witnesses under oath, and uncover details the company otherwise may not have disclosed. Without pursuing the third-party lawsuit, our client may never have received the full justice and compensation he deserved.

Why a Third-Party Claim Can Make All the Difference

Many injured workers mistakenly believe their only recourse is through workers’ comp. While that system provides some medical and wage benefits, it doesn’t account for pain and suffering, future income loss, or long-term disabilities. A third-party claim, on the other hand, opens the door to a broader range of financial recovery—especially in cases where a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or subcontractor played a role in the accident.

Filing a third-party personal injury lawsuit also allows us to obtain critical evidence through the legal process. We can send formal questions (interrogatories), request internal documents, and conduct depositions where witnesses must answer under oath. These tools often uncover negligence that would remain hidden otherwise.
