Accidents Don't Just "Happen"
Construction is a dangerous business. Everyone knows this, from the investors and property owners backing a job to the architects designing the project to the contractors and workers who actually get the job done. Because construction is a dangerous business, precautions must be taken, and when those precautions are not taken, whether out of carelessness or deliberate corner-cutting, sooner or later someone gets hurt.
Accidents that can be caused by negligence at a construction site include:
- Falls from construction scaffolding
- Crane accidents
- Vehicle accidents
- Injury from defective equipment
- Chemical exposure
- Cave ins
- Falling objects
- Fires and explosions
- Electrical accidents
When an accident occurs, it is rarely the person responsible who suffers the injury. Often, it is another worker, working for a different contractor, maybe days or weeks later.
Who Is Responsible for Accidents?
Because everyone involved in the project participates in creating the risk, New York law says that everyone involved in a project is potentially responsible when construction accidents occur as a result of negligence, including:
- Property owners
- Contractors
- Construction management firms
- Equipment manufacturers
- Architects, engineers, and others responsible for plans or studies
Of course, people can only be held responsible for their actual negligence. For example, an architect cannot be held responsible for building plans that were not executed properly, but could be held responsible for a flawed design that led to an accident.
Who Will Stand Up for You?
The people whose negligence caused the accident likely know they're responsible and already have their insurance companies and their lawyers on their side, prepared to fight any claim you might make, attempting to absolve themselves of responsibility for the injury they caused. You need someone on your side.
