Vallejo Construction Accident Lawyers
We Partner with You to Achieve the Best Results.Construction sites are essential to Vallejo’s continued growth, but these environments are filled with hazards for the workers on the ground. Whether you’re operating heavy machinery, working at heights, or navigating an active job site, the risk of serious injury is always present.
When a construction accident happens, the effects can be devastating. You may face medical bills, time away from work, and uncertainty about your future. While workers’ compensation can provide some financial support, it often doesn’t account for the full extent of your losses.
Workers’ comp limits your right to seek additional compensation against your employer. But in California, injured workers may have the right to pursue a third-party personal injury lawsuit against negligent contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, or other non-employer parties involved in the project.
At Wells Call Injury Lawyers, we help injured construction workers in Vallejo seek the compensation they deserve. Our Vallejo construction accident lawyers have decades of experience handling complex third-party injury claims throughout California. If you were hurt on a construction site and believe someone else may be responsible, we’re here to help you take the next step.

Can I File a Construction Accident Lawsuit?
If your injury happened on the job, your employer’s insurance will likely cover you under California’s workers’ compensation system. This system provides limited benefits—medical care and partial wage replacement—but does not require proof of fault.
However, workers’ compensation is not always your only option.
You may be able to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit when someone outside your employer contributed to or caused the unsafe condition that led to your injury.
Unlike a workers’ comp claim, a personal injury lawsuit allows you to seek compensation for:
- Pain and suffering,
- Emotional distress,
- Full lost wages and future earning potential,
- Medical expenses not covered by workers’ comp, and
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
This additional compensation can be critical when your injury leads to long-term or permanent impairment. Simultaneously pursuing both types of claims is often the best way to protect your physical, financial, and emotional recovery.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Vallejo Construction Accident?
Multiple parties may be involved in a construction project. While your employer may be shielded from lawsuits under workers’ comp laws, many others are not. Potentially liable third parties may include:
- General contractors or site managers who failed to enforce safety protocols or address known hazards,
- Subcontractors from other companies who created unsafe working conditions,
- Property owners who failed to provide a reasonably safe environment or failed to warn of known dangers,
- Equipment or tool manufacturers who sold malfunctioning or defectively designed products, and
- Vendors or delivery companies whose vehicles or actions contributed to the injury.
Each case is different. Our attorneys will investigate all possible sources of liability and determine whether one or more parties outside your employer may be legally responsible for your injuries.
Common Injuries from Construction Accidents
Construction accidents often result in serious, life-altering injuries. Even with protective gear and safety protocols in place, the physical demands and risks present on a construction site make severe injuries a constant concern.
Some of the most common injuries our clients experience after construction accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI),
- Spinal cord injuries,
- Broken bones and fractures,
- Burns and electrical injuries,
- Amputations or crush injuries, and
- Soft tissue and joint damage.
These injuries can result in substantial medical expenses, long-term disability, and emotional trauma. When a third party’s negligence caused or contributed to the incident, pursuing a personal injury claim may be the only way to recover the full financial support needed to move forward.
Experienced California construction lawyers can help you understand how these injuries affect your ability to work, support your family, and enjoy daily life—and they can calculate the full scope of damages you may be entitled to recover.

5 Reasons People Choose Us
How Long Do You Have to File a Construction Accident Lawsuit in California?
In California, the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit after a construction accident is generally two years from the date of the injury. This legal deadline is known as the statute of limitations.
If you do not file your lawsuit within this two-year window, the court will likely dismiss your case—no matter how strong your claim or how severe your injuries are. That means you could lose your right to recover compensation altogether.
Two years might seem like plenty of time, but building a successful third-party construction accident case takes work. Investigations must be conducted, evidence must be preserved, and liable parties must be identified. The sooner you speak with a lawyer, the more effectively your case can be prepared.
At Wells Call Injury Lawyers, we encourage injured workers to reach out as soon as possible after an accident. Early legal guidance can help protect your rights and ensure nothing falls through the cracks during this critical time.
