Construction accident
San Diego construction accident attorney
Construction sites carry real hazards, and an injury can put your income and your health at risk. We help injured workers pursue medical care, wage replacement, and any other claims available to them.
Help after a construction site injury
Construction work involves hazards that other jobs do not, from falls and unsecured drop-offs to sharp materials and heavy equipment. When an injury happens in the course of your work, workers' compensation can cover your medical treatment and replace part of your lost wages, regardless of who was at fault.
Some construction injuries also involve a party other than your employer, such as a subcontractor or an equipment manufacturer. In those cases you may have a separate claim in addition to workers' compensation. We help you understand which options apply to your situation.
How we approach your case
We take a personal approach. We explain where your case stands, help you get prompt treatment within your medical provider network, and document your injury carefully so the record is clear. Then we deal with the insurer so you can focus on recovering.
Common questions
Construction accident FAQs
Can I get workers' compensation for a construction injury even if it was my fault?
Yes. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, so you generally do not have to prove your employer did anything wrong, and your own carelessness usually does not bar your claim. There are limited exceptions, so it is best to talk with an attorney about your specific situation.
What if someone other than my employer caused my injury?
If a third party, such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment maker, contributed to your injury, you may have a separate claim against them in addition to your workers' compensation benefits. We investigate to identify everyone who may be responsible.
How long do I have to report a work injury in California?
You should report a work injury to your employer promptly, generally within 30 days, and there are further deadlines to file the claim itself. Because missing a deadline can cost you benefits, contact us as soon as you can. [CONFIRM: confirm deadlines for your specific claim]

Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!
