J. Shaffer Smith Provides Exceptional Counsel to Sufferers of Construction Accidents

LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Too often, construction accidents lead to severe brain injuries, and when in need of a brain injury lawyer, Los Angeles residents have come to trust J. Shaffer Smith. Since 1973, the attorney, as well as his team at J. Shaffer Smith & Associates has provided clients with the ideal construction accident lawyer for those who have suffered due to the negligence of an organization or individual. Due to the frequent involvement of many parties, cases regarding construction accidents are often exceptionally complex, necessitating an understanding of personal injury as well as insurance law. Fortunately, the construction, personal injury and insurance bad faith attorney Los Angeles trusts can be found at one place – J. Shaffer Smith & Associates.

As the economy in Los Angeles picks up, construction projects have become more common throughout the area. In fact, the Associated General Contractors of America reports that Los Angeles came in third among metropolitan areas, adding the most new construction jobs in the last year. Infrastructure projects at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as improvements to the 405 freeway and school construction projects for the L.A. Unified School District have largely spurred this bump in construction. While it's heartening to see a rebound in the California economy, expert attorney J. Shaffer Smith points out that with an increase in construction projects comes with an increase in risk – a fact that has already proven to be the case.

Recently, two workers were injured Tuesday in a trench at a construction site in Chatsworth, leading firefighters to be called to the scene. Fortunately, the two men appear to be recovering well, yet it stands as a significant reminder that these accidents happen, and when they do, the efforts of a first rate construction accident lawyer can scarcely be overstated. While senior trial attorney J. Shaffer Smith began his career defending large corporations and insurance companies, he quickly came to realize that defending those in need is more important to him than the sizable pay offered by large companies. Since opening his own office, Mr. Smith and his associates have helped thousands of clients, for whom he has earned over $1/4 billion in verdicts and settlements to date.

In California, construction workers are fortunate to be covered by the California Worker's Compensation Act, but there are distinct limits to what the act can provide for injured construction workers. Mr. Smith is aware that even when there is clear legal liability, responsible parties and their insurance companies may refuse to provide adequate compensation. That's why the attorneys at J. Shaffer Smith and Associates work to assist their clients with first-rate legal knowledge and compassionate service. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a construction accident, contact the Law Offices of J. Shaffer Smith & Associate at 310-736-1303 or via the firm's web site at shaffersmithlaw.com.
