Trench Accidents Can Be Deadly
Trenches pose a high risk of injury and death to construction workers when proper safety measures are not in place to protect against cave-ins and other hazardous incidents. Every year, trench collapses and related accidents cause numerous injuries and fatalities—often because construction sites fail to follow safety regulations.

Common Types of Trench Accidents
Trench accidents fall into several categories. At Victory Law Group, we’ll keep you informed about your case every step of the way.
Collapse or Cave-In – Improper shoring or inadequate protective systems can cause a trench to collapse, burying and crushing workers inside.
Falls – Workers can accidentally step into an unguarded trench or fall when standing near the edge of an improperly secured trench that gives way.
Heavy Machinery Accidents – When heavy machinery gets too close to a trench, it can fall into the trench and injure workers below, or cause the trench walls to collapse under its weight.
Trench accidents often result in severe injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones and fractures
- Nerve damage
- Amputations
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Wrongful death
If you or a loved one has been injured in a trench accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
