Construction Accident Law

One of the first questions following a construction accident is ‘Who’s fault was this?’. This is the liability that impacts any accident lawsuit. While liability isn’t a factor for worker’s compensation claims, it plays a big part in cases where workers are looking to recover additional compensation for damages. In many cases, multiple parties can be held liable for the accident, including construction site owners, equipment manufacturers or other parties involved in the project.

Types of Construction Site Accidents

Construction work hazards vary but can all result in major injury, disability or even death. The most common construction injuries are caused by:

• Falls
• Caught-in/between
• Electrocution
• Struck by Object

These ‘Fatal Four’ are responsible for most construction related injuries and deaths. These construction injuries are serious and in most cases, are 100% preventable through appropriate work safety precautions.
