Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides benefits to workers who are injured on the job. In California, all employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, even if they only have one employee. This insurance is designed to cover the costs of medical treatment and lost wages for injured workers. In the event that a worker is killed on the job, workers’ compensation also provides death benefits to the worker’s surviving family members.
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means that injured workers do not need to prove that their employer was negligent in order to recover benefits. In fact, even if a worker’s own negligence caused their injury, they are still entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.
However, workers’ compensation is also the exclusive remedy for injured workers. This means that, in most cases, workers cannot sue their employer for additional damages, such as pain and suffering.
Construction workers who are injured on the job are entitled to several different types of workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits are designed to cover the costs of medical treatment and lost wages, as well as provide additional compensation for workers who have suffered a permanent disability.
Workers’ compensation benefits for injured construction workers include:
Construction accidents can be extremely traumatic, and it can be difficult to know what to do in the aftermath. However, taking the right steps after a construction accident is crucial to protecting your health and your right to workers’ compensation benefits.

For example, the construction industry poses inherent dangers to workers, with cumulative respiratory crystalline silica exposure (CRCSE), which is a significant risk in California. CRCSE, commonly found in stone cutters and fabricators, can lead to silicosis—a life-threatening condition causing lung inflammation and scar tissue buildup. Silicosis often necessitates a double-lung transplant, which can be challenging both to obtain and afford.
If you or a loved one has suffered from a work injury like silicosis due to occupational exposure, seeking legal guidance from experienced workers' compensation lawyers is crucial. Contact Rodich Law who can help pursue compensation and benefits for medical expenses and treatment costs.
Construction workers who are injured on the job are generally not allowed to sue their employer for additional damages. This is because workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy for injured workers. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
In some cases, you may be able to file a third-party claim in addition to a workers' compensation claim. A third-party claim is a type of personal injury claim that is filed against a party other than your employer. For example, if you are injured in a construction accident caused by a defective product, you may be able to file a third-party claim against the manufacturer of the product. If you are injured in a construction accident caused by a negligent driver, you may be able to file a third-party claim against the driver. A third-party claim can provide you with compensation for damages that are not available through workers' compensation, such as pain and suffering.
Many workers’ compensation claims are denied. If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. However, the appeals process can be complex, and many injured workers are unable to successfully appeal a denied claim. That is why it is so important to have an experienced workers’ compensation attorney on your side.
