What Are Some Common Causes of Construction Accidents?
Multiple studies have found that most construction accidents occur due to falls from heights, scaffolding or ladder accidents, electrical accidents, machinery malfunctions, falling objects, trench collapses, and unsafe working conditions. Knowing the cause of the accident goes a long way into establishing negligence and determining liability.
When Is Filing a Lawsuit the Best Way To Proceed?
Filing a lawsuit may be the best course of action in situations where the construction accident resulted from another party's negligence. Here, we're talking about a subcontractor, a property owner, a government agency, or even an equipment manufacturer. Additionally, if the accident was caused by safety violations or a failure to provide adequate training, legal action may be necessary to seek compensation.
Can I File a Workers' Compensation Claim After a Construction Accident?
Yes, in many cases, you can file a workers' compensation claim after a construction accident. That said, you must be an employee of the construction company and meet other eligibility requirements to be able to file this claim. Workers' compensation insurance provides benefits employees injured on the job, covering medical expenses and lost wages.
I Got Injured at a Construction Site, But I'm Not an Employee. Do I Have a Case?
Yes, you may still have a case. You do not have to be a company employee to claim your right to compensation. Potential liable parties under such circumstances could include property owners, contractors, or subcontractors if their negligence contributed to the accident.
I Got Injured While Walking on a Sidewalk. Can I File a Claim?
In such a case, we'll look at factors such as property owner negligence, signs of inadequate maintenance, or the presence of hazardous conditions. If we establish that someone was negligent, including the construction company, we may be able to help you file a claim with them.
