Construction Accidents
A construction injury to either workers or visitors while on construction sites occurs are often due to the unsafe nature of the worksites. Power tools, partially built structures, scaffold falls, ladders, lifts, heavy machinery and rotating crews of tradesmen account for some of the hazards on construction sites. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is the federal agency that regulates safety measures on construction sites.
If the injured party’s employer is the cause of the injury and unsafe condition, the victim can file a worker’s compensation claim while recuperating from the injury. Many incidents, though, are complicated and involve numerous parties who were involved in the negligence on the jobsite. Such cases require separate construction liability suits to compensate the victim and his or her family for injury or death for the negligence. General contractors, subcontractors, site owners and manufacturers of the tool or machine being used may be held liable for the injuries.
