Oakland Personal Injury Attorney

Work Related Injuries and Construction Sites

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous work environments in which to work. There are countless serious hazards, even when the safety standards are maintained. Scaffolding collapses, trench cave-ins, electrocution, crane accidents, falling debris, equipment failures, and other situations can cause serious and life-threatening injuries to the workers at the site. In some cases, there has been negligence on the part of the construction firm, developer, architectural firm, equipment manufacturer or other company involved with the project. In some serious cases, a claim will be made to several companies by an Oakland personal injury attorney fighting on behalf of the injured individual. At the Law Offices of David R. Silva, the legal team has assisted countless individuals with construction accident injury claims, and would like to review the details of your case in order to advise you what can be done about your claim for compensation.

Construction Accidents in Alameda County

The Oakland area has constant construction projects underway, and often certain companies become negligent in their safety standards, putting the workers at serious risk of injury. Some of the injuries that result from these accidents are so severe that the individual will never again be able to make a living, such as paralysis or brain injuries that render the victim incapable of work. In such cases, the families who have counted on the income of the injured family member to survive can find themselves in a serious financial situation. The legal team at the Law Offices of David R. Silva will fight for every type of possible compensation that could be claimed, including the loss of income and future financial losses that have resulted from the negligence of the responsible party or parties.

When equipment failures are the cause of the injury, it may be necessary to make a claim against the equipment manufacturer; if the equipment has been improperly maintained, it may be that the equipment supply company could be partially responsible. Each case must be completely evaluated to determine how the claim for compensation for damages will proceed. The legal team at the Law Offices of David R. Silva is dedicated to assisting injured workers in such cases, and will aggressively seek fair compensation for the damages suffered by the injured and their families.
