Santa Rosa Construction Accident Attorneys Protecting The Injured — We Offer Solutions, Not Surprises
The California Division of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) continuously regulates protocols to keep construction sites safe. Despite these regulations, dozens of construction workers are still injured on-site annually. These accidents are often caused by the company’s failure to provide safety gear. Nonetheless, personal injuries may also be the result of another employee’s negligence or poor implementation of safety procedures.
Do you think somebody else is at fault for your construction site injury? Have you lost your income since the accident? Did the injury make it difficult for you to look for another job? At Arash Law, led by Arash Khorsandi, Esq., we help victims get back on their feet. We fight for the maximum compensation you can receive for all the damages caused by the accident.

Here’s how our Santa Rosa law firm helps construction accident victims:
- No-Win, No-Fee – Otherwise known as “contingency fee,” our firm operates on a “no-fee, no-win” basis. Put simply, you don’t have to pay us unless we win your case. We know you already have a lot on your plate with your injury. We don’t want to impose another financial burden on you by asking for upfront fees. That’s also why we don’t charge for our initial and in-depth consultations.

- Holding Negligent People Responsible – In a construction site accident, multiple parties may be held accountable for your injury. With the help of our Santa Rosa construction accident lawyers, you can determine who’s liable. We’ll investigate the construction site, analyze medical records, and collect eyewitness testimonies to solidify your case.
- Access to the Top Medical Specialists – Construction site injuries often include PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries. While we work on your case, we’ll also get you access to the top medical specialists in Santa Rosa or anywhere in California.
- Maximum Compensation – We don’t consider settlements as a way for victims to recover “some” damages. That’s why our settlements are always more than enough for victims to turn their lives around. Our personal injury lawyers’ negotiation and litigation methods win millions of dollars. Our recent case results are a testament to that.

Electrocutions
Electrocutions at construction sites accounted for 7.2% of the total fatalities in 2019. Over half of these deaths were caused by direct contact with power lines or live electrical equipment.

About 59, or 5.4% of construction deaths, were caused by caught-in/between incidents. Caught-in/between accidents are almost similar to struck-by accidents, except that the former is caused by the force of two opposing objects.
