How Negligence Can Cause Construction Accidents
Negligence on a construction site can cause serious accidents. Often, these incidents occur due to:
- inadequate safety measures
- a lack of proper training; or
- failure to adhere to regulations.
For example, when safety protocols are not properly followed at the construction site, the risk of accidents such as falls, machinery malfunctions, or structural collapses increases.
Even before filing a claim, you’ll need to identify the negligence that led to your accident. That’s where our construction accident experts come in, armed with powerful legal resources to investigate the accident and establish the truth about what really happened and who might be responsible.
Potentially Liable Parties in a Construction Accident
Multiple entities might bear a certain degree of liability for the accident. In most cases, liability tends to fall on the following parties:
- Construction site owners
- General and sub-contractors
- Engineers and architects
- Equipment manufacturers
- Property managers
- Compliance officers
- Third-party vendors
Each of these parties has specific roles and responsibilities on a construction site, and their failure to meet these obligations can lead to serious accidents or sometimes even death.
Potential Damages in a Construction Accident Claim
You may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover tangible losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, should compensate you for intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
