Note that you may be able to recover compensation even if negligence was not a factor, just as long as you were injured while working at a construction site (as an employee of the company). In that case, you’ll need to file a workers’ compensation claim with your employer, which follows a no-fault system.
What Parties Could Be Held Liable?
In some cases, the injured may be able to file a claim or lawsuit with other parties who may have contributed to the construction site injury in one way or another. Below are examples of the various parties that could be held liable.
Can I File a Claim if I Am an Independent Contractor?
If you are an independent contractor, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit for a construction accident if someone else's negligence caused your injuries. That’s because in California and many parts of the US, independent contractors are not typically eligible for workers' compensation insurance.
