Construction sites and workplaces across Los Angeles injure thousands of workers every year—not because the work is inherently dangerous, but because employers, contractors, and site owners routinely prioritize speed and profit over safety. When they do, workers fall, machinery crushes, and lives change permanently.
If you were hurt on the job, you’re entitled to more than a workers’ compensation check that barely covers your medical bills. You deserve full accountability from every party whose negligence contributed to your personal injury in Los Angeles.
Types of Workplace & Construction Injuries
At Haffner Law, injured workers don’t go up against employers and contractors alone. We step in, take over the legal fight, and make sure the people who failed you answer for it.
Workplace Injury
Pursuing third-party liability claims for unsafe conditions, defective equipment, and employer negligence that workers’ compensation doesn’t fully cover.
Construction Accident
Holding contractors, site owners, and manufacturers accountable for falls, electrocution, structural collapses, and heavy machinery accidents.
Don't Let the Job Site Tell a Different Story
Employers and contractors responsible for your injuries move quickly to protect themselves. Incident reports get rewritten. Job sites get cleared and reconfigured before anyone documents the hazard. Witnesses scatter to new projects, and surveillance footage gets overwritten within days. Every hour you wait makes it harder to prove what happened—and who is responsible.
California law enforces strict deadlines:
- Workplace Injury: Two years from the date of injury to file a civil lawsuit against a negligent third party (CCP § 335.1). Workers’ compensation claims carry separate and shorter deadlines.
- Construction Accident: Two years from the date of injury to file against liable contractors, site owners, or equipment manufacturers (CCP § 335.1).
- Government Worksites: Only 6 months to file an administrative claim if injured on publicly funded property (Gov. Code § 911.2). Missing this window can permanently bar recovery.
We move immediately—securing incident reports, documenting site conditions, and identifying every liable party before evidence disappears.
Reach out to Haffner Law today for a case review. We will examine the facts, pinpoint who is liable, and go after the full accountability you deserve.
