Representing Victims of Construction Accidents in Riverside, CA
The team at Gonzales Law Offices has extensive experience representing clients in all types of personal injury cases, including construction accident claims. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, it’s important to know your rights when it comes to claiming compensation for your damages. If you were hurt on the job, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation, or you may have grounds for a personal injury claim against another party.
When you choose our firm to represent you, we will carefully review the details of your accident and determine your most viable path to recovery. We have successfully helped many past clients recover from all types of construction accidents, and we’re ready to leverage this experience on your behalf. You have limited time to build your case, so it’s crucial to hire a construction accident lawyer you can trust at your first opportunity.
Recovering From a Construction Accident in Riverside
Construction accidents happen in many ways, and often with devastating results. Some of the most commonly reported types of construction accidents include vehicle crashes at roadside construction sites, injuries from falls, and accidents involving heavy equipment. While some construction accident victims make full recoveries, others are left with permanent disabilities that diminish their ability to work in the future.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2023, about 363,900 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses were reported in California. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) consistently ranks construction as one of the most dangerous industries, accounting for about one of every five workplace fatalities in the US each year.
If you are hurt while working in California, you are likely covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance and can file a claim for benefits. Almost every private employer in the state is required to have this insurance, and your Riverside construction accident lawyer can help you file your claim. If successful, workers’ compensation insurance can cover all medical expenses related to your injury and compensation for lost income while you recover.
While workers’ compensation insurance can be a valuable economic lifeline after a workplace injury, it is limited in what it can provide. If a specific party is responsible for causing your construction accident, you may have grounds to file a personal injury case that could enable a better recovery. Your Riverside construction accident lawyer can determine whether you have grounds for a personal injury case and, if so, help you file it.
The team at Gonzales Law Offices has successfully helped many past clients navigate difficult injury cases, including construction accident claims. If you have been hurt in a recent construction accident, we will guide you through each step of your recovery process and do everything we can to help you maximize your recovery. You have limited time to file your case, so reach out to our firm as soon as possible to get started.

How Do You Prove Fault for a Construction Accident in Riverside?
Proving fault for a construction accident in Riverside may require various types of evidence along with witness testimony. The evidence you may need will depend on the nature of the accident in question. For example, if a negligent driver hurt you, your attorney can gather witness statements, vehicle computer data, and other evidence to help you establish fault for the accident.
What Happens if I Share Fault for a Construction Accident?
If you share fault for a construction accident, this will not interfere with workers’ compensation benefits, as this insurance functions on a no-fault basis. However, if you are filing a personal injury case, your shared fault can lead to a diminished recovery under California’s pure comparative negligence law. The plaintiff’s fault percentage is subtracted from their case award to reflect their shared liability.
What Is a Construction Accident Case Worth in Riverside?
The value of a construction accident case in Riverside depends on several factors. You may have grounds to claim compensation for economic damages such as medical bills, future medical treatment costs, lost wages, and lost future earning capacity. In a personal injury case, the plaintiff may also claim damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages may be awarded if the defendant violated the law in causing the injury.
Why Should I Hire a Construction Accident Lawyer?
You should hire a construction accident lawyer to maximize your chance of success with your case. These are inherently complex cases, and you could have multiple options for claiming compensation. When you hire a seasoned local attorney to represent you, you are not only more likely to win your case but also more likely to maximize your compensation.
What Does it Cost to Hire a Construction Accident Lawyer in Riverside?
The cost to hire a construction accident lawyer in Riverside depends on the lawyer you choose to represent you. The team at Gonzales Law Offices accepts personal injury cases on a contingency basis, which means we only charge a fee if we win your case. There is no upfront cost to hire our firm to represent you in a construction accident case, and if we are unable to obtain compensation on your behalf for any reason, you pay nothing.

Robert R.
Mark helped me recover all my expenses due to my car accident. The insurance company tried to slow the process and doubted that I was even injured. Mark fought for me and gave me peace of mind. I felt like I had an army on my side since his staff worked tirelessly for me. They got the insurance company off my back and helped me get back on my feet faster than I expected.
April F.
Mark did a fantastic job for me when I slipped in a restaurant. I owner had the nerve to claim it was my heels, when clearly the floor was damaged and caused me to fall. He tried to make himself look like the victim of a scam. Mark put an end to that real fast. He took control of everything for me. He helped me get my medical costs paid as well as compensation for the lost time at work.
