Construction site accidents kill and injure hundreds
of thousands of workers each year. Working at a construction
site is one of the most dangerous occupations in the
United States. Injured individuals often feel no recovery
is available outside of the limited remedies of workers'
compensation. However, there are other sources for recovery.
Construction companies must inspect each site with
safety engineers and provide safety programs, but unfortunately
accidents still occur due to the inadequacy of these
provisions.
When a construction site accident occurs, the owners,
architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of
equipment can be held responsible for inadequate safety
provisions. The general contractor and all subcontractors
are required to provide a reasonably safe site, to warn
of hazards inherent in the site and work, to hire careful
employees, to coordinate job safety and to supervise
compliance with safety specifications.
Navigating the maze of third parties who might be responsible
for a construction accident can be overwhelming. Grant
Morain is experienced in identifying those third parties
– like manufacturers, contractors, subcontractors
and others – to obtain compensation for his clients.
