Injuries Common on Melbourne Construction Sites
Injuries on construction sites can be minor; however, the potential for more serious injury is also possible due to the hazardous nature of the work environment. Examples of injuries construction workers commonly report include:
- broken bones
- neck injuries
- shoulder injuries
- back injuries
- spinal cord injuries
- burns
- electric shock
- injuries caused by exposure to hazardous chemicals
Failing to comply with industry safety standards is also an unfortunate cause of injuries. Construction workers can sustain injuries by tripping over objects left lying on the ground. If you’re injured in a construction site accident, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. Morgan & Morgan can fight for your legal rights.
Who’s Liable for Construction Site Accidents
Determining liability for your construction site accident can be a complex process. Often, more than one party is responsible for your injuries. Here’s a look at some of the potentially negligent parties.
- Site owner: A site owner may be liable if a construction worker is injured due to a hazardous condition on the land. The site owner is at fault if he or she is aware of the potentially unsafe condition and does not take adequate steps to inform the workers or eliminate the hazard before the workers are placed at risk.
- Contractor: Contractors (and subcontractors) are responsible for providing a safe workplace. Therefore, a contractor may be liable if he or she is made aware of an unsafe situation and fails to ensure the hazard has been eliminated before allowing access to workers. Contractors are also responsible for ensuring equipment is safe for worker use.
- Equipment manufacturer: A manufacturer may be at fault if job-related equipment malfunctions due to defective design and causes injury.
- Architects and engineers: An architect or engineer may be liable for injuries sustained in a construction accident if the accident is the result of a building design that is not up to code.
