Building / Construction Accidents

Building a home or office or factory can be a complicated process involving many different specialties -- and risks. These are some of the factors that might be involved in causing an accident:

Project planning and management: poor organization or sequencing might provoke conflicts or collisions among the contractors and workers on site, or result in the collapse or failure of structural components that were prematurely stressed.

Safety Practices: A work site can become hazardous from failure to provide the proper hats, clothing or gear guardrails or warning signs; sloppy coordination might result in a fall, a burn or an injury from tools or materials.

Defective materials or equipment: Scaffolding, hoists, trusses or other building products or tools can fail from improper design or assembly or possibly latent defects in the materials.

Although some injuries suffered at a construction or other job site might be covered by Workers Compensation insurance provided through your employer, in many cases significant losses suffered by you or a family member might be recoverable from a different contractor, supplier or manufacturer.

Your ability to recover compensation might be affected by the passage of time. You should discuss your injury with an attorney as soon as you can.
