Our construction accident lawyers will fight for the maximum compensation owed to you.
Every state has a system of safety laws established under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and these regulations apply to work done at construction sites. While these laws exist to provide medical care and financial benefits to injured construction workers and families of construction workers who have been killed, there are limits to the amount of benefits that may be obtained.
OSHA regulations are not the only legal standards to which a property owner, general contractor, or sub-contractor may be held in determining liability for a construction accident. In certain situations, it may also be possible to file a personal injury lawsuit. For instance, if a working environment is unreasonably dangerous as a result of negligence or recklessness by the employer and a construction worker is seriously injured or killed, it could give rise to a civil lawsuit. In addition, if a third party enters a construction site and causes an accident that leads to a serious injury or a fatality, that construction worker or the worker’s family could pursue a lawsuit for damages.
In order for a party to be held liable for your injuries, you must be able to prove that the party was negligent. These questions can help identify who may be responsible:
Who was responsible for ensuring compliance with OSHA regulations?
Who was in control of the construction site, job activity or equipment when the injury occurred?
Where did the accident occur?
What were the conditions of the accident site?
What equipment was involved?
How was the equipment used?
Who do you work for?
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a construction accident, the property owner, general contractor, or sub-contractor may be held responsible for any injuries. Our skilled construction accident lawyers will carefully listen to your account of the accident, determine your legal options and identify the best course of action moving forward.
It is imperative that you contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your potential right to file a claim.
