Construction Accident Attorneys
Hurt on a Roseville construction site?
Construction is one of California's most dangerous industries. Falls, struck-by, caught-in, and electrocution — OSHA's "Fatal Four" — account for most construction deaths. Workers' compensation is a start, but it does not cover pain and suffering or full lost earnings.
Gingery Hammer & Associates, LLP investigates every possible third-party defendant: general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and negligent drivers. That is where real recovery lives. Every case is handled on a contingency fee — no fee unless we win.
You work directly with a trial-ready attorney — never a case manager — from your first call through resolution.
Quick Answer
A Roseville construction accident lawyer stacks third-party claims on top of workers' comp — often recovering several times more. California's statute of limitations is generally two years. Gingery Hammer & Associates, LLP handles construction cases on a contingency fee — no fee unless we win.

Common Construction Accident Causes
How construction site accidents happen
- Falls from ladders, roofs, and elevations
- Scaffolding collapses
- Struck by falling tools or materials
- Caught in or between equipment
- Electrocutions from live wires
- Defective construction equipment
- Trench and excavation collapses
- Crane, forklift, and heavy-machinery incidents
- Improperly maintained stairways

Common Injuries
Construction injuries are often catastrophic.
Because impacts happen at height, at speed, or with heavy equipment, injuries are severe:

- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Amputations and crush injuries
- Multiple fractures and broken bones
- Severe burns and electrical injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Vision and hearing loss
- Wrongful death
After a Crash
What to do after a construction accident in Roseville
- 1
Report the accident to your supervisor
Immediately and in writing. California law protects you from retaliation for reporting an injury.
- 2
Get medical attention right away
Insist on your choice of doctor when possible. Go to Sutter Roseville, Kaiser Permanente Roseville, or the nearest ER.
- 3
Preserve the scene
If possible, photograph the equipment, defective tool, ladder, or scaffold before it is removed or repaired.
- 4
Get names of every subcontractor and worker present
Third-party liability turns on who was on the site. Names of GCs, subs, and safety officers matter.
- 5
File a workers' compensation claim
This is separate from — and in addition to — a third-party civil case. Do not sign anything giving up rights.
- 6
Do not speak with the general contractor's insurance
Politely decline until you have a lawyer. Their adjusters work to reduce or defeat your claim.
- 7
Preserve every medical record and paystub
Follow your provider's treatment plan without gaps. Keep every pay stub for lost-wage calculation.
- 8

- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

FAQ
Roseville construction accident FAQs
Can I sue if I have workers' comp?
Yes — as long as the person you're suing is not your employer. Third-party claims against general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers are separate from workers' comp and typically recover far more.
Who can I sue in a construction accident?
General contractors, subcontractors, property owners, engineers, architects, equipment manufacturers, tool makers, and negligent drivers on site — anyone other than your direct employer.
What if I'm an undocumented worker?
You have the same right to file a personal-injury claim in California as any other worker. Immigration status is not admissible to reduce damages.
What if a family member was killed?
Surviving family can bring a wrongful-death claim for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of companionship — in addition to workers' comp death benefits.
How long do I have to file?
Two years from the accident for the third-party civil case; workers' comp deadlines are much shorter — report to your employer within 30 days.
How much does a Roseville construction accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. Contingency fee — no hourly fees, no retainer. Paid only when we recover.
What if I was partly at fault?
California's pure comparative negligence rule still lets you recover. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, not zeroed out.
Can OSHA violations help my case?
Yes. Cal/OSHA citations for safety violations are powerful evidence of negligence — we routinely obtain OSHA files and use them.
Do you handle construction accidents outside Roseville?
Yes. In addition to Roseville and Placer County, we represent injured workers throughout Sacramento and the greater Sacramento region.
Does my employer's insurance handle everything?
No. Workers' comp does not pay for pain and suffering or full lost wages. That's why third-party claims are so important.
