Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file workers' comp AND a third-party lawsuit for a construction injury?+
Yes. California construction sites typically involve multiple contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners. While workers' comp covers your medical care and disability benefits regardless of fault, you may also have a third-party claim against a negligent party other than your direct employer — for example, a general contractor, scaffolding manufacturer, or crane operator. Third-party recoveries are not capped by the workers' comp formula and often exceed the comp claim itself.
What if I'm an undocumented construction worker?+
California workers' compensation covers all employees regardless of immigration status. Your employer is legally required to carry workers' comp insurance for everyone on the job site, and you cannot be retaliated against for filing a claim. We have represented hundreds of undocumented workers and your status will never be shared outside your case.
How long do I have to report a construction site injury?+
California Labor Code § 5400 requires you to notify your employer within 30 days of a construction injury. You then have one year from the injury date to file the formal DWC-1 claim form. Miss either deadline and your benefits can be denied. If your injury is cumulative (developed over time from repeated stress), the clock starts when you first connect the symptoms to your work.
What if scaffolding or equipment caused my injury?+
Defective scaffolding, ladders, harnesses, cranes, and power tools support a product liability claim against the manufacturer in addition to your workers' comp claim. Cal/OSHA citations against the contractor are also strong evidence. We preserve and inspect equipment immediately — if you wait, the equipment can disappear from the job site.
What's the average settlement for a California construction accident?+
Construction settlements vary widely based on injury severity, permanent disability rating, and whether a third-party claim applies. Nordanyan Law has secured construction recoveries from $200,000 to over $2 million. Factors that increase value: spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, multiple body parts injured, lost future earning capacity, and clear third-party liability.
