Riverside Construction Accidents Attorney
Certain safety measures must be in place at construction sites. The employers, contractors and subcontractors are responsible for making sure the safety measures are in place and maintained. They need to ensure that those who are on the site are warned of all of the hazards, and they need to hire only trained workers that know and understand how to use the equipment safely.
Claims for injuries on construction sites can be complex because of the labor laws that can limit the claims against employers. Those who are in California need to file through the California Worker’s Compensation Act. If another party, such as a subcontractor or a manufacturer is at fault for the accident, it is possible for the injured party to file a suit against the other party.
Because of the various types of accidents that can occur on a construction site, the type of injuries varies as well. Severe injuries such as spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burns, broken bones, hearing and sight loss can occur. Amputations, paralysis, nerve damage, infections and other injuries can be debilitating and can alter a person’s way of life.
The biggest problem with construction site injuries is falls. Areas that are higher than 6 feet need to have some type of safety protection in place such as safety nets or railings. Vehicle crashes are another reason for so many injuries on a construction site. Exposure to toxic substances, electrocution from exposed wiring, and equipment defects are dangerous as well.
