Construction Negligence
Construction site accidents are a daily threat to workers in the construction trade. Sometimes, serious injury and even death may occur. Injuries can arise from both job site accidents and construction site defects. Various laws allow for construction site workers and their families to be compensated in the event of injury or death, but litigating these types of cases can be extremely complex since understanding multiple laws and procedures, such as workers’ compensation and personal injury laws, is critical.
Construction negligence claims can be made against multiple defendants or third parties, including:
- Property owners
- Manufacturers
- Developers
- Contractors
- Engineers and others
