FAQ

Who Can Bring a Construction Accident Case?

Anyone, including workers, bystanders, or even visitors to the construction site, can bring a construction accident case against the at-fault party. The only catch here is that the person bringing the case must have been injured due to someone else’s negligence at the construction site.

Against Whom Will They File the Case?

The party at fault can vary depending on the circumstances. This may include but is not limited to the employer, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers.

What Should I Do After Such an Accident?

The most important thing is to seek immediate medical attention. Next, report the incident to your employer if it happened in the workplace or the property owner/manager if it happened in public or private property. While at it, document the scene with photos and videos, gather witness information, and contact a Tavares construction accident attorney to understand your legal options.

What Information Should I Include When Documenting the Accident?

Details about the scene, any visible hazards, injuries sustained, names and contact information of witnesses, and relevant dates and times help shed more light on what really happened. This information can be crucial in building a strong case against the at-fault party.

What Are Some Common Hazards at a Construction Site?

We’ve handled cases involving falls from heights, electrical hazards, falling objects, machinery accidents, trench collapses, and exposure to hazardous materials. Inadequate safety measures and poor training can exacerbate these dangers.

Which of These Hazards Occur Due to Negligence?

Negligence comes into the picture when there is inadequate safety protocol, lack of proper training, poorly maintained equipment, and failure to comply with safety regulations. Identifying and addressing these negligence-related factors can help add more weight to your case.

I Was Injured in a Construction Accident. Does That Guarantee Compensation?

Contrary to what you might have heard out there, injuries alone do not guarantee compensation. To receive compensation, you must establish that someone else's negligence led to the accident. Consulting with a construction accident specialist from our team can help assess the strength of your case and determine your eligibility for compensation.
