Construction Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles, CA
Injured on a Construction Site? Kashani Law Can Help.
Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in California. From heavy machinery to unsafe scaffolding, one small mistake can lead to devastating injuries. If you or a loved one has been hurt on a construction site, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. At The Law Offices of David P. Kashani, APLC, we fight to hold negligent contractors, subcontractors, and third parties accountable.

Workers’ compensation may cover part of your losses, but it’s often not enough. Many construction accident victims are also entitled to file third-party claims against those who caused unsafe conditions. That’s where we come in — to ensure you get the full compensation you deserve.

Compensation You May Be Entitled to After a Car Accident
On most construction sites there is a multitude of things going on at the same time. With so much activity combined with inherently dangerous equipment and hazardous materials, it’s no surprise that safety is often an issue.
If all individuals on a construction site – both construction workers and non-construction workers – don’t adhere to the proper safety precautions, serious injuries or even death can occur in a construction accident.
On average, injury rates in construction are 71% higher than injury rates across all other industries. This is even more alarming considering that The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) found that more than 25% of construction workers have indicated that they failed to report a work-related injury.
And according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), one in five U.S. worker deaths a year take place in the construction industry.
Unfortunately, things don’t seem to be getting any better. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that in 2019 fatalities in the private construction industry increased by 5% to 1,061 – the largest total since 2007.
A construction injury can leave you unable to work and facing years of recovery. Depending on your case, you may be eligible for:
- Medical Expenses – Surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and future care.
- Lost Wages – Compensation for missed work and reduced earning ability.
- Disability Benefits – If you’re unable to return to your job.
- Pain and Suffering – For the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
- Wrongful Death Damages – Financial recovery for families who lose a loved one in a construction site tragedy.
At Kashani Law, we calculate both immediate and long-term costs to ensure you don’t settle for less than your case is worth.
Under California law, if a construction worker has been injured on the job, his or her only claim against their employer is through workers’ compensation.
As such, construction companies that conduct work in California are required to purchase no-fault workers’ compensation insurance coverage. As with any workers’ compensation claim, the worker (employee) doesn’t have to prove that their employer was at fault for anything in order to receive benefits.
When filing a workers’ compensation claim the only thing that the victim must prove is the extent of their injuries and damages. Using things such as receipts and medical bills as well as your medical file from your treating physician can help to prove your precise injuries.

Although workers’ compensation can help to provide compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and disability, it doesn’t always cover the full value of the victim’s damages – nor does it usually cover any non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF CATASTROPHIC INJURIES
Common Causes of Construction Accidents in California
Many construction accidents happen because safety standards aren’t followed. Some of the most frequent causes include:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops
Falling tools, debris, or building materials
Electrocution from exposed wiring or faulty equipment
Heavy machinery accidents (cranes, forklifts, bulldozers)
Collapsed trenches or unstable structures
Negligent subcontractors or unsafe work practices
If your injury was caused by a third party — not just your employer — you may have a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation.
