Time is one of the most critical factors in any construction accident case. In California, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of your accident. If you fail to file within this window, you may lose your right to compensation entirely, no matter how strong your case may be.

What Are Common Causes of Construction Site Accidents?
California workers could face danger in many ways. Some of these include:
- Slip & Falls: Most onsite injuries are the result of falls. A large portion of work must occur at great heights, using scaffolding, cranes, roofs, ladders, bridges, and more. Inadequate safety gear, crane operator error, or other forms of negligence on-site could lead to an injurious fall. Speak to a slip and fall accident lawyer in Los Angeles today.
- Falling Objects: With so much gear and equipment moving around, workers face risks of objects hitting them, inflicting brain injuries, and more. Workers or even clients may set tools or construction materials down improperly or before they properly secure them.
- Faulty or Poorly Maintained Equipment: The operation of large equipment requires extra precautions, especially in areas where people are working. Inadequate safety measures or unsatisfactory operation procedures put people at risk of injury or death.
- Fire/Explosion: Construction sites involve many dangerous and explosive or combustible components, including exposed wiring, chemical storage, leaking pipes, and more. Some projects actually have explosives on site resulted in extreme burn injuries.
- Structural Collapse: Workers digging trenches or tunnels face the risk of the structure collapsing. New buildings under construction may have structural weaknesses that extreme weather could cause to fall. Demolition projects often place workers on a site where a known collapse is imminent. All of these factors increase the risk of injury.
- Overexertion: Workers often must push their bodies to the limit to get work done. They also may have to do the same task over and over. Their work conditions could put them in extreme heat or cold. All of this requires heavy exertion on the body, exposing them to injury risk.
- Respiratory Disease: Construction sites are home to dust and dirt, as well as chemicals and other materials. When workers inhale these substances, it can lead to minor infections or much more serious diseases; some are even fatal.
