CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
Owners, custodians and general contractors of construction sites have an obligation to keep the work site safe. If there is an accident, in sone cases a worker will be able to bring a claim against the owner or general contractor in addition to a workers compensation claim. It is important to consult a law firm with expertise in this area of the law to ensure that your rights are fully protected.
In an occupation where the potential for severe and violent accidents is common, some of the most catastrophic forms of injury and death occur as a result of falls from roofs, crane and heavy equipment accidents, scaffolding collapses, structural cave-ins, electrocution, fires and explosions, compressed and natural gas explosions and welding accidents.
In order to receive compensation for injuries beyond what workers compensation affords an injured worker, negligence must be found in a third-party - which is usually either the owner of the premises where the injury occurred, or the manufacturer of construction equipment that contributed to the injury. By working closely with a knowledgeable attorney, you can uncover federal and state regulations governing the safety of construction sites, and the duties incumbent on property owners and contractors to provide an environment designed to prevent injury, not facilitate it.
