Common Construction Site Debris Accidents
Although the site supervisor is required to keep the construction site safe, negligence on the part of supervisors is a regular occurrence. Some common causes of construction debris accidents are:
- Debris falling from buildings
- Debris falling from cranes and other heavy equipment
- Tools, boxes and other material scattered around the site, causing workers to trip-and-fall
- Piles of dirt and building material that are not cleaned up in a timely fashion
Whether you were hurt while working at the site or you were injured just walking or driving by the site, attorney Michael Kaplan will work diligently to protect your rights. Working with construction experts and other specialists, we will determine what caused the accident and who is ultimately responsible.
Worker's Compensation in Construction Cases
If you suffer an injury while on the job, you are covered by workers’ compensation [Link to 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, however, you can get benefits from two sources — workers’ compensation and a pain and suffering lawsuit against the general contractor.
