There are two basic categories of Construction Accidents in Oakland.

The first category of construction accidents are those in which persons not employed at the construction site are injured. Usually, these are visitors, or people who simply happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. These can normally be handled through a standard personal injury lawsuit.

The second category of Construction Site accidents encompasses injuries sustained by construction workers on site. In most of these cases, the worker is limited to recovering worker's compensation. However, if there are multiple contractors on site, or if the injury was the result of a co-worker's actions, then the injured person may be able to recover damages that exceed worker's compensation.
