An Orange County Accident Attorney on Construction Accidents

Many laws and regulations govern construction sites and workplaces. For that reason, you will want an experienced Orange County accident lawyer to guide you through the legal process and help you collect the damages you are entitled to.

Having a Successful Orange County Construction Accident Attorney Represent You

Typically, a construction site may include many different parties who may be responsible for your injuries. A major task for an Orange County accident lawyer is to figure out exactly who bears responsibility and what type of lawsuit to bring:

• Owner Liability. For smaller projects, the property owner may be directly responsible for any injuries or accidents. However, an Orange County accident lawyer can explain that for most major projects, the landowner may pass potential liability to contractors.
• Contractor Liability. Contractors generally have a legal duty to perform safe work. In addition, contractors may carry their own insurance and liability policies. An Orange County accident lawyer can help you sort out which contractors and subcontractors may be responsible for an injury.
• Engineering Defect. For poor or unsafe designs, you may be able to sue the engineer or architect for a design defect.

After determining who to sue and what type of lawsuit to bring, your Orange County accident lawyer can help you calculate the damages you can recover and negotiate with insurance companies.
