The construction site is one of the most dangerous places in the community. Injuries to workers, visitors, suppliers, neighborhood children and others often results from dangerous equipment, unsafe practices, or the lack of proper safety rules and regulations.
Violation of OSHA regulations and industry standards entitle the injured person to recover from all those responsible for a safe construction site. Injuries from falls, improperly placed ladders and scaffolds, falling materials, unguarded openings and trenches, poorly stored materials, and construction debris are too common and entitle the injured person to compensation.
The responsibility for safety on a construction site is not limited to the worker performing the task or his direct employer. The owner, the general contractor, architects, engineers, and other subcontractors may be responsible to insure safe practices, and ultimately be liable to a worker who is injured on the site. Often, worker's compensation is not the only remedy a worker has following a construction site injury.
Catastrophic injuries often occur in construction accidents. Massive head or spinal cord injuries can result in death or permanent paralysis. Fractures, dislocations, torn tendons and ligaments or ruptured organs are but a few of the catastrophic injuries that can occur in the highly dangerous construction site.
