San Bernardino Falls from Heights Lawyers

San Bernardino County Construction Accident Attorneys

Construction workers often have to work in difficult, and sometimes dangerous, conditions on a regular basis. Some of these conditions involve working at great heights, where falls could result in severe and fatal injuries. Falls from heights often occur because of equipment defects, such as faulty scaffolding and ladders, or carelessness on the part of property owners, construction foremen and other workers.

At the Southern California law firm of Fernandez & Lauby LLP, our experienced personal injury lawyers provide representation for the victims of falls on construction sites from roofs, ladders and other high structures. We also represent the family members of those who have been killed in construction accidents in California. Our attorneys provide effective and knowledgeable service to help clients maximize the compensation that they receive for their damages.

Experienced San Bernardino Falls From Heights Lawyers

One of the most important factors in any accident is the identification of accident causes, responsible parties and their potential liabilities. Working with medical experts and other experts, we strive diligently to seek out this information and to build a strong case for our clients. Falls from heights can produce severe injuries that include:

  • Broken bones
  • Head and traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
  • Amputations
  • Wrongful death

Sometimes, ladders and roofs are not safe for workers to be on, especially if they are using power tools or doing heavy lifting while they are up there. Guard rails, safety harnesses and safety ropes should be used, in many cases, to protect workers. If there are no safety features, however, or if equipment is not manufactured properly, it can easily result in a serious accident.

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
