How Can Negligence Cause a Construction Accident?
Negligence is usually a huge contributing factor in these kinds of accidents. In a construction setting, negligence manifests as inadequate training, failure to implement safety protocols, lack of proper equipment maintenance, insufficient supervision, and disregard for OSHA regulations. When these factors are present, the risk of accidents such as falls, equipment malfunctions, or collapses increases significantly.
How Do You Prove Negligence in a Construction Accident?
To prove negligence, we’ll need to establish whether your case meets these four elements: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. What this means is that the responsible party had a duty to maintain a safe environment but failed to fulfill that duty through negligence. As a result, the negligent actions or inactions directly caused the accident, which resulted in damages to you or someone you love.
Who Else Besides the Construction Company Can I Sue?
Besides the construction company, you may take legal action against subcontractors, architects, engineers, equipment manufacturers, or even property owners. Identifying all potentially responsible parties is one way to pursue maximum compensation for your injuries, something a Sarasota construction accident attorney from Morgan and Morgan can help with.
What Are Damages Available for Construction Accident Victims?
Depending on the nature of your case, you may be eligible for various damages, including the following:
- medical expenses;
- rehabilitation costs;
- lost wages;
- emotional distress;
- pain and suffering;
- loss of enjoyment of life;
- and compensation for long-term disabilities.
Once we’ve reviewed your case and determined you may have a viable claim and you decide to hire our attorneys to represent you, they’ll also help determine the specific damages you may be entitled to.
