Construction sites in San Diego are usually a positive sign of a healthy economy. Repairing our infrastructure, or creating new construction is good for our community and generally welcomed.

However, construction sites by nature, can pose a potential danger to passersby due to a variety of factors such as heavy equipment and a fast-paced environment. Although, regulations and safety guidelines been put into place to help prevent people from injury on or near these locations, sometimes construction injury accidents do happen.

When you or a loved one have been injured at one of these sites, you may be unsure of your next course of action. First, seek medical treatment. Next, it is important to seek the advice of a credentialed San Diego construction accident lawyer, in order to get the compensation you deserve. By contacting our offices and speaking directly to a construction injury attorney, we can advise you on whether you have a claim.

Understanding the Severity of Construction Accidents

Everyone knows that walking through or near construction sites can be dangerous, but most people assume that the various companies in and around a construction site are operating up-to-code and compliant with all regulatory standards. This isn’t always the case, and as a result thousands of everyday people suffer injuries each year as a result of someone operating negligently on or near a construction site.

Common Causes of Construction Site Injuries:

Tripping or Falling

Unsecure platforms, collapsing floors, dangerous fencing, walkways,  etc can lead to nasty falls and long-lasting injuries.

Unsafe Use of Equipment:  

Companies on construction sites rely on heavy-duty machinery to help them accomplish a variety of tasks. When an operator uses equipment negligently it can be very hazardous to those around or near the machinery

Negligence and Unsafe Conditions:  

A worksite and the surrounding area must be handled in certain ways to ensure accidents can be prevented, but some organizations allow conditions to become unsafe either as a cost-cutting measure or due to simple negligence. This, too, can lead to a serious personal injury.

Everyone who goes on or walks near a construction site has the right to assume others will adhere to a safe standard of care.

When this is not the case and serious injuries occur, you may be entitled to compensation. A San Diego construction accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve, and help you do so in a civil, organized, and straight-forward manner.

  You can go with the catchy jingles that you see on TV as I did, and become just another client. Or you can go with a firm that treats you like family, and sets the bar high by fighting for the maximum payment from your injuries. Very impressed and glad I made the switch! Thanks for everything I truly appreciate you.

  I worked with Ashley LaFontaine and she was absolutely wonderful in getting me the care I needed. When things with the doctors got hung up she helped get things moving. She was super communicative and kept me in the loop through every step of the process. Set expectations from beginning to end very well and exceed my expectations!

  I met Oliver Pelly by happenstance and after I grilled him a couple of times, I decided to hire his firm. After being my initial POC, I began working with Blake Woodhall. Both were standup guys, and Blake kept me in-the-loop the entire time. He was patient when explaining the process and going over details and understanding of my situation and concerns. Everything concluded better than I could have expected, and Blake acted as an excellent buffer to keep everything at bay. I would highly recommend Blake, Oliver and their firm for any auto accident cases.

  Going through my accident was a very difficult and emotional experience. The process of choosing the right law firm can be overwhelming. Choosing Phillips and Pelly was the best decision I could have made. They are extremely knowledgeable and I trusted Oliver’s expertise throughout the entire process. He was very responsive. Anytime I would have a question, including nights and weekends, Oliver would get back to me right away. I would recommend Phillips and Pelly for anyone going through a similar situation. They really are the best.

  I have enjoyed my experience with this law firm. Alecia Gordon represented me with my case and throughout this entire ordeal has been extremely supportive and understanding of my own lack of experience and knowledge of legal matters. She is not only kind and considerate but very intelligent and professional. The paralegal team also deserve kudos as they were always there to assist and assure me of progress and necessary document completions. All in all, I would highly recommend this firm for personal injury claims.

  Matt was very helpful in settling a case for my son that was a passenger in an automobile that crashed into a home. My son suffered cracked ribs, a concussion amongst other injuries. Matt was helpful explaining everything to us as this was a 1st dealing with anything like this for our family. It took time and patience as the other party was reluctant to settle. In the end my son had his ambulance, medical bills and a small amount of recovered monies all paid out. Great man, lawyer and law firm .Highly reccomended
