- Large, heavy equipment can be dangerous. A construction site has bulldozers, backhoes, dump trucks, cranes and other heavy equipment. When operators are poorly trained or when they are asked to ignore safety guidelines because of deadlines, serious heavy equipment accidents can happen.
- Safety — especially at great heights — is essential. Too often, workers on a construction site do not have the safety equipment they need and that can cause dangerous falls. Equipment such as lanyards, harnesses, dependable scaffolding, and safe ladders are required by law. In these instances, it is easy for defective equipment, ladder falls, falling objects and scaffolding accidents to occur.
- Small tools can cause serious injuries. A drill that isn't properly grounded, a nail gun that double-fires or accidentally discharges, or other defective construction equipment can lead to serious injuries. In such a case, a product liability suit may be necessary.
- Road construction workers are at great risk for injuries. From highway construction to other roadway work, contractors and subcontractors, as well as government employees, are at great risk for serious injury.
A construction site has multiple contractors, all determined to do their own tasks, often without regard for other contractors and their workers. Sorting out how a construction accident happened and who is responsible can be complex. From pursuing workers' compensation claims to third-party claims, our personal injury attorneys have substantive experience and knowledge representing clients who have suffered injuries in construction accidents.
