Agoura Hills Construction Accident Attorney

Skilled Legal Representation Serving Greater Los Angeles Area

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous environments for its workers and contributes to thousands of injuries every year. When a construction worker is injured in an accident, he faces not just medical expenses but also lost wages, potentially lower income earning capacity in the future and even disability.

If you are a construction worker who has suffered an injury at a work site, you likely have questions about your immediate care and your future. The Los Angeles construction accident attorneys at Effres & Effres are available to speak with you about your case and can determine if you are entitled to compensation. Call (818) 222-9720 today!

Understanding Workers’ Compensation for Construction Injuries

Any construction worker who has suffered injuries in the workplace is automatically eligible for workers’ compensation. Workers compensation benefits will help pay for your medical expenses and lost wages after an injury. However, workers’ compensation benefits do not include compensation for human losses such as physical pain, mental suffering, and disfigurement.

Although workers’ compensation benefits will begin immediately after a worker has suffered an injury, they are often meager. Workers’ compensation benefits are also not an indication of fault, or are they often enough to cover your mounting expenses. It’s important to identify whether there are other parties that can be held liable in a third-party personal injury claim to ensure that the consequences of your injuries do not escalate from bad to worse.

The Role of Third-Party Claims

When injuries are caused by the negligence of any other parties besides your employer, you may be eligible to file a third-party claim.

If your injuries were caused by any of the following reasons, you may be eligible to file a third-party claim:

In all the above-mentioned cases, there may be other parties, besides your employer, who are responsible for the activity that resulted in your injuries. For instance, if a subcontractor erected defective supporting resulting in your injuries, you can name him in a personal injury claim.

Third-party claims provide a valuable source of compensation recovery for you, in excess of workers’ compensation benefits, so that you may recover for physical pain, mental suffering, disfigurement, and other human losses. Our firm proudly represents residents throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, and all surrounding counties.

Our Clients' Success Stories

  • "We will recommend you and your firm without reservation."
    Dear Steve, With our case now settled, we wanted to reach out to thank you, Justin and the entire team for your representation of our daughter. It was clear to us that your professionalism, expertise and advocacy of our family’s interests made the entire process run smoothly. We specifically appreciate how well you interacted with our daughter. After we hung up with you on speaker phone leaving the courthouse that last day she said “I like him” in a very childlike, affectionate tone. We also wanted you to know that our decision to settle did not come easily. In the end, we believe the decision was in our daughter’s best interest. We know you worked hard to prepare a strong case and do regret not having the opportunity to see that through. Lastly, on a personal note, we wanted to compliment you on Justin. He is a truly impressive young man; intelligent, polite and very good natured. Just a couple of comments Steve made in the days leading up to our daughter’s trial as we got to know Justin better. To our daughter; “You can tell a lot about a man by seeing how his children behave; Mr. Effres seems like a really good man.” To S: “If you have a son, he (Justin) is what you want him to be like; if you have a daughter, he’s the kind of guy you’d like her to end up with.” Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from us, but you and your wife must be very proud of your sons. I hope this doesn’t sound hollow, because it is most definitely not, but please keep in touch and let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. If we ever come across a friend who is in need of representation, we will recommend you and your firm without reservation. Thanks again and best wishes by S, S, and M

  • "I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal."
    Two attorney firms dropped us before the 2 year deadline and we were panicking. My husband was badly hurt when a truck backed into him as he was walking by. Justin took us in and we really felt like we had someone on our side. I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal. I would absolutely recommend him!

  • "Best law office to work with!"
    Effres & Effres law office helped me to work through my case after I was rear ended by a young person who drove someone else's car with a minimal insurance coverage. They were great, always available, answering all my questions, giving the best advises, not aggressively but based on an informed decision-making process, which I was very much part of. We got a great result. I would strongly suggest this law office to anyone who was injured in an accident. They are great, responsible and accommodating you, every step on the way.
