Claims from Construction Workers
If you suffer an injury while on the job (e.g. a knee or back injury), you are covered by workers’ compensation. If you work for the general contractor, you may not file a pain and suffering claim, but must get your benefits by going through the workers’ comp system. If you work for a subcontractor, you can get benefits from two sources—workers’ compensation and a pain and suffering lawsuit against the general contractor.
Claims from Bystanders
There are many causes of construction site injuries. They include
- construction equipment, such as backhoes, cranes, or bulldozers
- debris on the ground
- elevators and lulls
- Failure to follow OSHA regulations
- falling objects
- improper scaffolding or ladders
Massachusetts Bar Accident Lawyer
The general contractor has a duty to ensure the safety of a construction site. This is not something he can delegate. According to OSHA regulations, a general contractor is required to go over the safety procedures and inspect the equipment every day. If he fails to do this, he may be liable for any accidents that occur.
