Pasadena Construction Accident Attorneys
How Escovar Law, APC Can Help
Construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Every year, thousands of construction workers are injured or killed – even when all the proper preventative measures have been taken. Construction accidents can lead to serious and permanent injuries, which is why workers deserve the maximum available compensation to pay for their medical expenses and to continue supporting their families.

Types of Construction Accident Claims
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to get specific permits, perform routine inspections, and implement work safety protocols to prevent workplace accidents. However, failure to follow the safety procedures and product defects often lead to avoidable construction accidents. Furthermore, there could be several liable third parties, such as construction site owners, contractors, construction machinery manufacturers, architects, and engineers.
The following are the types of construction accident claims injured workers could be eligible for:
- Workers’ compensation – In most cases, injured construction workers are not allowed to bring a lawsuit against his/her employer because they are automatically entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ comp insurance covers medical bills and lost wages due to missing time from work to recover from injury. It is important to consult a personal injury attorney regarding work site accidents to determine all potential sources of liability in order to maximize compensation.
- Personal injury– If a third party’s negligent actions caused a worker’s injury, the injured worker may potentially file a personal injury lawsuit.
- Product liability – If a worker’s injury was caused by a defective product, then he/she may be able to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, and/or maintenance company.
- Wrongful death – If a worker dies in a construction accident, his/her surviving family members may recover death benefits from workers’ compensation insurance and/or file a wrongful death lawsuit.

“I was frightened and distrustful when I walked into Steve Escovar’s office in December of 2016. The possible consequences to my situation were devastatingly life-altering, and I was worried, to say the least. I had read good reviews on Mr. Escovar’s abilities and results, but I was still skeptical. He was honest with me from the start. He didn’t downplay the significance of what I faced, but he reassured me that if I followed his advice; by presenting him with documents he requested, he would do his job, and the outcome might be better than what I imagined. He was calm and supportive while I fretted. Most importantly, he got the best results I could never have imagined anyone could achieve. He got my case dismissed. He knew I was innocent and somehow was able to make the D.A. realize it too. Steve is a fighter, and he was willing to go all the way for me. He likes to win, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re ever in a situation where your future is at stake, I highly recommend you call Steve. Believe him. Do your part, and he will do his. He’s a professional, he knows his stuff, and I can’t thank him enough for giving me my future back. I don’t plan on having any more situations like this in my life, but if I do, I’d hire him in a nanosecond. Great Attorney. An honest man with integrity.”- Doug

“Steve Escovar is without a doubt the best lawyer and professional in the business. His professionalism and ability to persuade the courtroom to follow his leadership is amazing to watch.

I would recommend Steve to anyone and any family member.”- Pleased Client
