If you find yourself facing the aftermath of a disaster on a building site in the Santa Clarita Valley, a seasoned Santa Clarita construction accident lawyer could assist you in securing the financial recovery you deserve. Working within the construction industry means your daily routine involves risks that most people never have to consider, but this reality should not lead to the loss of your livelihood or family stability when a mishap occurs. The person or corporate entity responsible for the conditions that caused your accident should be held accountable for the physical and financial damage they have inflicted upon you.
The legal team at Hinden & Breslavsky is prepared to take on your case with the same aggressive advocacy we have provided since 1974. We will look into the specific details of your situation and gather the necessary evidence to hold the negligent parties to account so you can pursue maximum compensation for the hardship you are going through.

Types of Construction Accident Injuries
While there are countless ways a person might be harmed while working around heavy machinery or high-rise developments, certain injuries appear with much higher frequency due to the physical nature of the work performed every day in our local area. Some of the most common medical issues include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Loss of limb
- Severe burns
- Back injuries
- Traumatic brain damage
- Broken bones
These examples are just a small portion of the many types of trauma that construction professionals experience after experiencing a work-related accident. Fortunately, California law provides specific avenues for you to continue supporting your loved ones while you focus on the long road to recovery from such serious physical damage.
How You Could Be Compensated for Your Injuries
As a laborer who was hurt on a job site in Santa Clarita, you generally have the right to file a claim through the workers’ compensation insurance provider of your employer to obtain disability benefits. These payments are designed to replace a portion of the income you lose while you are unable to work and will also address the costs of your medical treatment and ongoing healthcare needs. A significant benefit of the system in California is that these workers’ comp payments are issued regardless of who was at fault for the incident. This is a different standard than what you find in personal injury lawsuits, where you must prove that another party acted with negligence to succeed in a local court.
In a civil claim, you can also seek payment for more personal losses, such as your physical pain, mental distress, loss of companionship, and the loss of your future earning capacity. It is very important to remember that any lost wages you include in your claim valuation must be calculated to account for any benefits you are already receiving from the insurance carrier. Furthermore, legal matters involving both insurance benefits and third-party liability claims can become complicated very quickly and may require a deep understanding of state regulations. Because of this complexity, speaking with an attorney before you move forward with any paperwork helps ensure your final award is protected from insurance company tactics.
