The construction industry is constantly booming. Wherever we go, we are likely to see at least a few construction sites. Depending on the time of day, these constructions sites are filled with workers. Most of these workers can get on-site, complete their work, and go back home to their families. However, some construction workers do not have the same luck. Construction workers often suffer accidents while on site. Construction site accidents can potentially be among the most dangerous types of accidents; they can result in a number of injuries, some of which can be fatal.
Did you or a member of your family suffer harm in a construction site accident? Based on the details surrounding the incident and the resulting harm, you might be eligible to pursue a construction site accident injury claim.

Examples of the Incidents that Victims Could Suffer
Because there are so many different elements and moving parts in construction sites, it is possible for many different types of incidents to occur. Some examples of the different incidents that could occur at construction sites include the following:
- Tripping and falling on exposed re-bar
- Falling from elevated areas (including falling from scaffolding)
- Being struck by equipment/machinery
- Being crushed between large objects
- Being harmed by the improper/unsafe use of construction equipment
- Being electrocuted due to exposed wiring (or possibly faulty wiring)
These incidents could lead to a number of injuries, including but not limited to the following: head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, fractures, severed limbs, crushing injuries, suffocation, nerve injuries, and many other types of injuries. Without a doubt, some of these injuries can be fatal. Even if the injuries are not fatal, victims could be left dealing with long-term damage (injuries that require constant treatment or care). Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered on a construction site, you should explore the legal options available to you – you could be eligible to sue for the harm suffered.
Who Is Liable?
Who is liable for the harm that you or a member of your family experienced in a construction accident? In general, the contractor is liable for any incidents that occur on construction sites. This is because contractors have a duty to ensure the safety of their construction sites; that is, the site must be reasonably safe and, if dangerous conditions exist, the appropriate warnings must be present. Essentially, contractors have the duty to ensure the safety of their workers. Therefore, if contractors breach their duty of care and contribute to an incident that results in harm, contractors could be liable. Under certain circumstances, architects/engineers as well as manufacturers of construction equipment could also be liable. Ultimately, liability will always be based on the specific details surrounding the incident.
Can you sue? If you can determine liability for an incident, you can likely sue the liable party. You will need to have the appropriate legal representation. If you are interested in learning more about establishing liability and learning more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

Based no the details surrounding your construction accident claim, you could recover compensation for some of the following:
- Medical expenses
