Los Angeles Building Collapse Lawyer:
Legal Help for Los Angeles Workers Injured by Building Collapse During Construction or Demolition
When constructing buildings, accidents happen. Construction workers and inspectors who do risky demolition work all the time can suffer unexpected injuries. In 2009, nine workers were killed when they were caught in or crushed by collapsing materials. On average, construction workers who are injured when a building collapses are:
- Struck by a falling object, falling beam, wall or other parts of the building that was in the process of being demolished (more common when a bulldozer is being used instead of a crane and wrecking ball)
- Trapped inside the building when a fellow worker begins the demolition process
- Hit by flying or falling debris/particles
- Fall from ladders, roofs, scaffold, heights, and other elevated places
- Slip and falls in the construction site
The ability for a construction worker to recover full compensation for their injuries will depend upon how the accident and injury occurred. This will determine whether the worker qualifies only for worker’s compensation or if they also qualify for other benefits under one of California’s special labor laws which covers construction workers. Please contact the Personal Injury Law Firm of Mathew and George for more information.
