Injured on a Construction Site in San Diego? You May Have a Claim Beyond Workers’ Comp.
If your construction injury was caused by someone other than your employer, you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim.
Construction sites are dangerous, and injuries happen fast. When negligence by a third party causes harm, workers’ comp may not be your only option.
Golshani Lee LLP represents injured individuals in San Diego who were hurt on or around construction sites due to unsafe conditions, defective equipment, or third-party negligence.
Confidential consultation. Clear answers. Experienced legal guidance.
No upfront fees. No hourly billing. You only pay if we recover compensation.
When a Construction Injury Goes Beyond Workers’ Comp
Not every construction injury is limited to workers’ compensation.
You may have a separate personal injury claim if your injury was caused by:
- A negligent subcontractor or contractor
- A property owner or developer
- A defective tool, machine, or safety equipment
- Unsafe premises or site conditions
- A vehicle or equipment operator
- A third party not employed by your company
These claims can allow recovery beyond workers’ comp benefits.
Common Construction Injuries
We handle construction injury cases involving:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or roofs
- Struck-by accidents involving tools or materials
- Heavy equipment and machinery accidents
- Electrical injuries and burns
- Trench collapses
- Vehicle and forklift accidents
- Pedestrian or bystander injuries near job sites
Both workers and non-workers may have valid claims.
Compensation That May Be Available
Unlike workers’ comp, third-party injury claims may allow recovery for:
- Full medical expenses and future treatment
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term disability or impairment
- Rehabilitation and ongoing care
Each case depends on who was responsible and how the injury occurred.
Why Construction Injury Claims Are Complex
Construction sites often involve multiple companies, contracts, and insurance policies.
Challenges may include:
- Identifying all responsible parties
- Proving negligence beyond the employer

- Preserving evidence before it disappears
Early legal involvement can make a significant difference in protecting your claim.
