Construction Site Injuries & Accidents

California Construction Site Accident Lawyers

Peach & Weathers in San Bernardino and Riverside

Common sense actions could help reduce the number of accidents at construction sites. Clearing away debris and stowing tools would eliminate two major causes of accidents at building and roadway work sites. Providing adequate training to subcontractors and day laborers would also help prevent accidents. However, contractors and subcontractors ignore OSHA requirements in an effort to save money. As a result, people get injured.

Construction site injuries are often catastrophic

At Peach & Weathers, our attorneys have more than 25 years of experience helping people obtain compensation for their injuries, medical bills, and lost income. Many of these clients have been construction workers and passersby. Many of them have sustained catastrophic injuries, such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputation. Many have become permanently disabled because of their injury, unable to work or attend school for retraining. A few have died from their injuries, leaving behind a family grieving over the wrongful death of their loved one.

  • Improper installation of scaffolding
  • Wall collapse
  • Crane accidents
  • Explosions from compressed gas and other materials
  • Falls

We counsel people injured on construction sites, advising them on their options and rights. If they are better served by filing a workers' compensation claim, we will refer them to excellent workers' comp attorneys. If they are eligible to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for their injuries, medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering, our law firm will provide vigorous representation and advocacy.
