Who Is Liable for a Construction Accident?
With so many parties working on a construction site, including a variety of contractors, it may be difficult to determine who is liable for your construction accident injuries. A fact-specific analysis of the circumstances surrounding your accident will be needed, as well as answers to questions such as:
- Who is your employer?
- Where did the accident happen?
- What equipment was involved in the accident?
- Was the equipment being properly used at the time of the accident?
If your employer is found liable for the accident, then it is likely you will be able to pursue a workers’ compensation claim. Often, however, a third party can be held liable for a construction site accident. In addition to your employer, contractors and subcontractors on a construction site also have a duty to maintain safe conditions and comply with OSHA standards. Failure to do so can expose these third parties to liability for any damages incurred as a result of their negligence.
