Fees, Costs and Case Results

Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.

Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a third-party workplace injury claim in Orange County?
A third-party workplace injury claim allows Orange County workers to sue parties other than their employer who caused or contributed to their workplace injury. This commonly involves equipment manufacturers, property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and maintenance companies. Unlike workers' compensation, third-party claims provide full damages including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
Can I sue a general contractor for a construction injury in Orange County?
Yes. If a general contractor's negligence caused your injury on an Orange County construction site through unsafe conditions, failure to coordinate subcontractors, or inadequate safety protocols, you may have a third-party claim. Orange County's extensive residential and commercial development creates frequent construction site hazards where general contractors bear responsibility.
What types of construction injuries are common in Orange County?
Common construction injuries in Orange County include falls from scaffolding and ladders on high-rise projects, electrocution during commercial building work, struck-by accidents involving cranes and heavy equipment, trench collapse during utility installations, heat-related illness on outdoor sites, and injuries from defective power tools and construction equipment.
Can I file a third-party claim for a theme park workplace injury?
Yes. Theme park workers injured in Orange County due to defective ride equipment, unsafe maintenance protocols by third-party contractors, or negligence by equipment manufacturers may have third-party claims. Theme parks like Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm use numerous third-party maintenance, construction, and supply companies whose negligence can create liability.
How is a third-party claim different from workers' compensation in Orange County?
Workers' compensation provides limited benefits regardless of fault, covering medical bills and partial wages. A third-party claim allows recovery of full compensation including pain and suffering, emotional distress, complete lost wages, future earning capacity, and punitive damages. Our Orange County workplace injury lawyers pursue both simultaneously for maximum recovery.

After a workplace injury in Orange County, seek immediate medical attention, report the injury to your supervisor, document the scene and any equipment involved with photos, collect witness information, file a workers' compensation claim, preserve any defective equipment or materials, and consult a workplace injury attorney about potential third-party claims.
