Construction sites are among the most dangerous work environments. Heavy machinery, elevated work areas, and large equipment all create risks for both workers and bystanders. When contractors or subcontractors fail to follow safety protocols, maintain proper supervision, or provide adequate training, the results can be devastating. Victims can be left with severe injuries, lost wages, and lasting emotional distress.
Common Causes Of Construction Site Accidents
Negligent contractors can be responsible for a wide range of accidents. Falls from scaffolding, being struck by falling objects, electrical shocks, and equipment malfunctions are just a few examples. In some cases, unsafe site conditions or the failure to warn workers and visitors about hazards lead to preventable injuries.
Contractors have a legal duty to keep their job sites safe. This includes ensuring proper safety measures are followed, using well-maintained equipment, and hiring qualified workers. When a contractor cuts corners or ignores these obligations, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.
A construction accident attorney can explain compensation in personal injury cases and how it applies to you and your specific situation. As well, they can use strategies and tips for maximizing compensation in a personal injury claim.
Proving Contractor Negligence
Holding a contractor accountable begins with proving that their actions—or lack of action—directly caused the injury. Evidence such as safety records, witness statements, photographs, and professional evaluations can all be used to build a strong case. It’s also important to determine whether multiple parties share liability. For example, subcontractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers may also bear responsibility for the accident.
