Residential, commercial, and industrial construction sites can be some of the most dangerous places for workers and bystanders alike. Injuries sustained on or near a construction site can be the result of accidents due to roof or scaffolding collapse, falling debris, machinery, and equipment malfunction or misuse, and can range from minor to catastrophic.
When construction site accidents occur, the injured and their families not only suffer the consequences of the injury but also the immediate loss of income and uncertainty that comes with that injury.
It can be tricky to identify the responsible party due to the complex interactions between employers, contractors, subcontractors, and others involved in the building site. In many situations, this can lead to a third-party claim if the negligence of a general contractor, subcontractor, landowner, equipment manufacturer, or supplier contributes to the accident.
