Construction sites are dangerous, and when safety protocols fail, workers pay the price. If you've been injured in a construction accident, multiple parties may be liable.
Expert information to help you understand your rights and options
Construction workers injured on the job often have claims beyond workers comp—against general contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and other third parties. These claims can provide full compensation for your injuries. Learn who may be liable and how construction accident lawsuits work.
Workers comp immunity does not protect everyone on a construction site—general contractors, property owners, equipment suppliers, and other subcontractors may all face liability. Third-party claims provide full damages not available through workers comp. Learn who you can sue and how to pursue claims.
Defective scaffolds, power tools, cranes, and safety equipment injure construction workers when manufacturers cut corners or fail to warn of dangers. Product liability claims bypass workers comp immunity. Learn about equipment defect claims, proving design or manufacturing defects, and manufacturer liability.
OSHA safety violations documented by inspectors provide powerful evidence of negligence in construction accident lawsuits. Citations establish that defendants violated specific safety standards. Learn how to use OSHA records in your case and the relationship between violations and civil liability.
Caught-in accidents include trench cave-ins, equipment entanglement, and crush injuries from collapsing structures. These often fatal incidents typically involve preventable safety violations. Learn about caught-in accident claims, OSHA trench safety requirements, and proving negligence.
Construction electrocutions occur from contact with power lines, faulty wiring, unprotected circuits, and energized equipment. Survivors may face permanent injuries while fatalities leave families with wrongful death claims. Learn about electrocution liability and OSHA electrical safety standards.
Falls remain the leading cause of construction fatalities, often resulting from scaffold failures, ladder defects, missing guardrails, and inadequate fall protection. Learn about fall accident claims, OSHA requirements that may establish negligence, and proving liability against multiple parties.
Struck-by accidents—from falling tools, crane loads, construction vehicles, and collapsing structures—are the second leading cause of construction deaths. Learn about liability for struck-by injuries, evidence preservation, and claims against equipment operators and site managers.
General contractors may be liable for injuries to any worker on site—even employees of subcontractors—when they control site conditions or safety. Retained control over specific work can create liability. Learn when GCs are liable and how to prove their responsibility for your injuries.
Construction site injuries often involve multiple responsible parties when subcontractors work alongside each other and under general contractor supervision. Determining who is liable requires understanding site control and safety responsibilities. Learn about subcontractor accident claims.
