Construction Site Injuries Lawyers
Tennessee Personal Injury
Attorneys
Construction accidents injure and kill thousands of workers
annually. When a construction worker is hurt on the job, he or she often
cannot make a claim against the employer for work related injuries. A
third party, however, can be shown to be liable when an injury occurs on
the job site. Property owners, architects, contractors, and equipment
manufacturers can all be accountable for insufficient safety measures
when an injury occurs. The general contractor and all subcontractors are
responsible for providing all safety provisions to ensure that the
construction site is not a threat. It is their obligation to warn of
potential hazards on the site, to hire workers who will use caution
while working, to coordinate job safety, and to check that appropriate
safety rules are being followed. Manufacturers of construction equipment
may also be liable for designing and maintaining safe products.
Dangerous or defective equipment may be the cause of a construction
accident, including:
-
Scaffolding
-
Cranes
-
Power tools
-
Ladders
-
Heavy equipment
