About Our Construction Injury Practice

Construction sites pose significant risks, often leading to severe injuries that can impact workers’ futures. The Law Office of Jilber S. Jamgochyan represents injured construction workers in California, drawing on more than three decades of personal injury experience.

California construction injury cases often involve a layered legal framework that includes workers’ compensation (the exclusive remedy against most direct employers under Labor Code Section 3602), third-party personal injury claims (available under Labor Code Section 3852 against parties other than the direct employer, such as general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners), and the Privette doctrine (which limits the liability of hirers and property owners in certain circumstances). The firm evaluates each case under this framework to identify the available legal options.

From scaffold falls to equipment malfunctions and trench collapses, the firm advocates for clients and pursues the categories of damages available under California law. Attorney Jamgochyan handles the legal aspects of the matter so clients can focus on recovery.

Our Process for Construction Accident Claims

The firm’s four-step process is designed to handle each construction accident matter efficiently and transparently, with clear communication at every stage.

Step 1

Initial Consultation & Case Review

The firm begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand the details of the accident, assess the client’s injuries, and evaluate the legal options available, including whether the claim involves workers’ compensation, a third-party personal injury claim, or both. Attorney Jamgochyan listens directly to the client and outlines the legal options available.

Step 2

Claim Strategy & Planning

Next, the firm develops a case strategy tailored to the facts of the matter. This includes identifying potentially responsible parties (which may include general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and others, subject to the Privette doctrine and related limitations), documenting current and future medical costs, lost wages, and non-economic losses, and pursuing the categories of damages available under California law.

Step 3

Negotiation & Insurance Claims

Our team then engages with insurance companies and opposing counsel, using evidence and expert testimony to negotiate fair settlements. The firm pursues a fair resolution under California law.

Step 4

Litigation & Claim Resolution

When negotiations do not produce a fair outcome based on the facts, the firm is prepared to file suit and litigate the matter in court. Once a matter is resolved, the firm coordinates disbursement of any recovery, the payment of medical liens, and any other post-resolution items, and remains available to address client questions about the closing of the case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about construction accident claims.

We represent injured workers in cases including falls from scaffolding, electrocutions, trench and excavation collapses, heavy equipment accidents, and more, holding negligent parties accountable.

Yes, many claims settle through negotiation or mediation with insurance companies, avoiding trial. Most of my clients prefer that their claims resolve quickly and without the need to file a lawsuit. I am always sensitive to my clients’ wishes and do my best to resolve their claims quickly and amicably. This requires the cooperation of the adverse parties and/or their insurance carriers. Sometimes, the filing of a lawsuit may be necessary because of the lack of cooperation from the other party and/or their insurance carrier. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. In the event we are unable to reach a fair and reasonable settlement, and settlement negotiations fail or break down, a lawsuit will be filed, and your claim will be in litigation. While your claim may be resolved after the filing of a lawsuit, in some cases your claim may have to go to trial.

Timelines vary based on injury severity, evidence gathering, and insurance responses. Simple cases may settle within months, while complex claims can take longer. We strive to resolve claims efficiently while maximizing compensation.

When negotiations do not produce a fair outcome based on the facts, the firm is prepared to file suit and litigate the matter. Attorney Jamgochyan advocates for the client at every stage through trial.
