Construction remains one of the most dangerous industries. Construction sites involve multiple employers, heavy equipment and work at heights, and serious accidents often result from more than one party's failure to follow safety rules.
Common Construction Accidents
- Falls from roofs, scaffolds and ladders
- Being struck by falling objects or vehicles
- Caught-in or caught-between accidents
- Electrocution
- Trench collapses
Who May Be Responsible
General contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment rental companies and manufacturers may all bear responsibility, depending on who controlled the work and the conditions that caused the accident. Safety regulations, including OSHA standards, can be relevant evidence.
