What Are Some Serious Injuries Caused by Construction Accidents?
Construction accidents can result in various serious injuries, including but not limited to the following:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Burns and electrocution
- Amputations
- Fractures and broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Respiratory issues from exposure to hazardous materials
These injuries can have long-lasting effects and may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
What Are Some Examples of Negligence at a Construction Site?
Negligence is a leading cause of accidents at construction sites in Sacramento and throughout the State. Some common examples of negligence include:
- Inadequate safety training for workers.
- Failure to provide proper safety equipment.
- Lack of proper maintenance for machinery.
- Failure to enforce safety protocols.
- Unsafe working conditions.
- Lack of fall protection measures.
- Failure to inspect and address potential hazards.
Note that you may be able to recover compensation even if negligence was not a factor, just as long as you were injured while working at a construction site (as an employee of the company). In that case, you’ll need to file a workers’ compensation claim with your employer, which follows a no-fault system.
What Parties Could Be Held Liable?
In some cases, the injured may be able to file a claim or lawsuit with other parties who may have contributed to the construction site injury in one way or another. Below are examples of the various parties that could be held liable.
- Property owners
- General contractors
- Subcontractors
- Architects and engineers
- Equipment manufacturers
- Safety inspectors
- Other third parties whose negligence contributed to the accident.
Can I File a Claim if I Am an Independent Contractor?
If you are an independent contractor, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit for a construction accident if someone else's negligence caused your injuries. That’s because in California and many parts of the US, independent contractors are not typically eligible for workers' compensation insurance.
