Construction Accident Injuries and Your Legal Rights

Alongside mining and a few other industries, the construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries in America. Construction sites have inherent risks. Workers often do their jobs high above ground, while huge construction vehicles move back and forth below them.The financial pressure increases the danger. This industry is so competitive that a few dollars could be the difference between making money and losing money on a particular job. To many construction companies, worker safety is an unnecessary cost.

Existing site construction, such as demolition and renovation, may be more dangerous than new site construction. Bypassers are at risk when a building is being partially renovated or demolished. Construction companies and property owners have a duty of care to ensure that the premises are safe and secure for everyone, employees and guests alike. A “Caution: Keep Out” or other warning sign is not always sufficient to protect people.

When large companies refuse to take personal safety matters seriously, the Construction Accident Attorneys at the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim stand in the gap.

Causal Factors

Common Causes of Construction Accident Injuries

A pre-existing condition may contribute to the risk and/or severity of a construction accident-related brain injury. But if that accident substantially causes the injury, maximum compensation is available. These accidents include:

Causal Factors

Falls from Heights

Falling Objects

Equipment Malfunctions

Electrical Hazards

Trench Collapses

Struck-by Incidents

Legal Complexities

Workers’ compensation normally protects injured construction workers. Workers’ comp benefits include medical bill payment and lost wage replacement. Civil actions are available in some cases.

Non-employees (building tenants, customers, guests, etc.) must file civil claims to obtain compensation for their injuries. All property owners and construction companies have a duty to provide and maintain safe and secure environments for everyone. The duty to ensure safety depends on factors like the owner’s control over the site, the high risk of serious injury in construction zones, and the victim’s status—guests have more legal protection than trespassers or passersby.

Comparative fault, in one form or another, may be the most common construction accident injury defense. This defense often involves a warning sign, as mentioned above. However, merely putting up a sign does not absolve negligent owners of all liability.

At the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim, the dedicated legal representation and comprehensive support from our Construction Accident Lawyers usually produce the best possible outcome.
