Product Liability and Construction Accidents
Most construction accident cases involving workers trigger a workers' compensation claim. However, injuries may occur as a result of human contact with machinery, equipment or trucks at the job site. In those instances, there may be a third party liability claim against the equipment manufacturer or distributor.
For this reason, an attentive personal injury attorney at Hal Waldman & Associates will conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether dangerous or defective equipment or any other factor influenced by a third party (other than the employer) played a part in the person's injuries.
Safety Regulations
In addition to the question of possible equipment failure, it is important to inquire as to whether management and workers complied with OSHA safety regulations at the job site. Detailed safety rules developed over many years are designed to protect workers, visitors to job sites and passersby. If safety regulations were ignored, there may be additional sources of compensation when negligence can be clearly confirmed.
Call us today to learn how we help clients hold construction companies, equipment makers and other responsible parties to high standards and pursue the compensation that injured people need and deserve after construction accidents.
