Construction site negligence

Construction sites pose many serious risks to those working at and around the area. Although construction companies and contractors are trained to maintain a safe environment, thousands of construction workers are injured or killed on the job each year.

What are the risks?

Common causes of construction site injuries and fatalities include equipment malfunctions, falls, exposure to toxic chemicals, and electrical dangers. Most of these issues can be avoided through proper site preparation, but construction site negligence unfortunately leaves many workers and families left to deal with medical bills, loss of income, and emotional distress after an accident occurs.

What are my legal options?

If you or a family member has been injured at a construction site, it is important to get in touch with an experienced construction site accident lawyer right away. Those injured due to construction site negligence may feel limited in their legal options, and may become frustrated because construction workers typically cannot sue their employers. It takes the expertise of a trusted construction site accident lawyer to assess your situation and get you the help you need and the compensation you deserve, beyond just workers’ compensation.

The worker’s compensation system is not necessarily your only option. In many construction site accidents there are third parties other than your employer who may be responsible for your injuries. It may have been defective machinery or the negligence of another contractor that caused the problem.
