The importance of proper safety protocols and regulations at construction sights cannot be overstated. Falls from heights, machinery accidents or exposure to hazardous materials are all risks at construction sights.
Understanding Construction accident claims
Many attorneys specialize in dealing with construction companies and their insurance providers, as cases are often complex and time-consuming.
The attorney’s job is to prove the business was negligent or intentionally at fault, which directly caused the injury or accident. The lawsuit is usually a personal injury case if the injured person is not an employee. The case usually defaults to workers’ compensation laws if the injured is an employee.
Laws mandate that employers retain workers comp insurance, ensuring injured employees receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses that result from a workplace injury.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates workplace safety measures to help safeguard construction sites, making them as safe as possible.
Accidents Happen
Even on the safest of construction sites, accidents can occur. Because of that, construction companies often have insurance or financial reserves specifically assigned to provide compensation to those injured on a construction site.
