How To: Construction Accident Claims
Construction accidents are unfortunately common in California, oftentimes due to the negligence of others.
Some of the most common types of construction accidents in California, for which a victim can file a claim include:
- Falls, back injury, neck injury & lacerations
- Superintendent negligence
- Wrongful death construction accidents
- Traffic control & automobile collision at construction sites
- Crane accidents
In order to file an insurance claim following a construction accident, accident victims must provide information about the accident to their employer’s insurance company.
Informationyou may need to provide includes:
- Personal information
- Contact and insurance information from the negligent or responsible party
- Evidence that there are associated medical costs
- Evidence of any property damage, injuries, or long-term disabilities caused by the accident
Once evidence surrounding the accident has been presented, an insurance company can determine what kinds of compensation are due, including for:
- Medical bills
- Costs of vehicle repairs, or other damaged property
- Lost income, pain and suffering, or other liability claims
However, because there is no exact formula for determining damages and compensation, insurance companies will often do all they can to pay out as little compensation possible.
As such, it is often very important to retain an attorney who will fight the insurance company to get you the compensation you deserve.
