Representing Victims of Construction Accidents in San Bernardino, CA
The team at Gonzales Law Offices provides compassionate and client-focused legal representation for all types of injury claims in San Bernardino. We have years of experience handling a wide range of accident cases and know the challenges you might encounter in your efforts to recover from a construction accident in San Bernardino.
If you were hurt on the job, you may be able to obtain benefits through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance policy, but workers’ compensation benefits are limited. When a specific party is responsible for causing your injury, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim. Whatever your situation entails, it is crucial to hire a construction accident lawyer at your first opportunity to have the greatest chance of success with your case.
Recovering From a Construction Accident in San Bernardino
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported about 363,900 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in private-sector workplaces in California during 2023, of which about 236,700 were classified as severe. Nationwide, construction has one of the highest workplace injury and death rates of all industries, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that construction accounts for one of every five workplace deaths in the US.
In California, virtually every private employer is required to have workers’ compensation insurance that can help an employee who is hurt on the job. When you are injured while working, you need to report the injury to your supervisor as soon as possible, and they can assist you with filing your claim for workers’ compensation benefits. After receiving medical care, you should report the injury to your employer so you can start the claim-filing process right away.
A San Bernardino construction accident lawyer can help with this process and resolve any disputes that arise. It’s possible for an employer to interfere with a workers’ compensation claim, and their insurance company may attempt to settle for as little as possible. Hiring an attorney improves your chance of securing a fair determination of benefits.
When you are eligible to file a personal injury claim against a specific party responsible for causing your construction accident, you have a better chance of success with your case with a skilled attorney representing you. In a personal injury case, the injured plaintiff must identify the defendant who caused their damages, prove how they caused them, and then show the full scope of the economic and non-economic losses they suffered.
Construction accidents may not only cause painful injuries but also prevent victims from working while they recover. They often inflict tremendous pain and suffering, and some will cause permanent disabilities. You need a San Bernardino construction accident lawyer who will be your most valuable asset when it comes to maximizing your recovery, so reach out to Gonzales Law Offices at your first opportunity to learn how we can help with your case.

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.
