Can I Still Take Legal Action if I’m Not a Construction Worker?
Yes, individuals who are not construction workers but are injured at a construction site may still have grounds for legal action. Visitors, pedestrians, or workers from other trades who suffer injuries due to negligence or unsafe conditions may be eligible to file a personal injury claim. The best way to find out whether you may have a viable claim is to have it reviewed for free by a construction accident specialist from our team.
What if I Was at the Construction Site Illegally?
Regardless of your legal status, you may still have the right to sue if you were injured due to someone else's negligence at a construction site. However, this rule is not written in stone. In Florida, for example, while the other party might not owe you a duty of care at a construction site, if you are a trespasser, they may be held responsible if they cause you intentional harm.
Will My Lawyer Fight for Me in Court?
Not every lawyer can, but that’s almost a guarantee when you hire a Washington, DC, construction accident attorney from Morgan and Morgan. Our injury firm handles more cases in court than any other injury firm in America.
Who Can Be Held Responsible for the Construction Accident?
The primary responsibility often lies with employers who are obligated to provide a safe working environment, implement safety protocols, and adequately train their workers. That said, liability can also fall on:
- those overseeing specific aspects of the construction project;
- the property owner if the accident resulted from hazardous conditions on the property;
- engineers, if the accident occurred due to design flaws or errors in the construction plans;
- equipment manufacturers in cases involving faulty machinery or equipment;
- government entities that failed to inspect or maintain public property (e.g., roads, sidewalks)
Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive. The uniqueness of your case will determine who to file a claim with.
