2. Construction accidents injure and kill thousands of workers each year.
When you are seriously injured while performing work duties in a
construction site or place of work as the result of negligence of another
person, whether caused by owner, contractor, project manager or other
responsible person, you can obtain compensation for your injuries.

3. • Injuries are compensated generally through worker's compensation. But
in some cases, where an employer is responsible for the cause of the
injury, the injured employee may be able to recover higher damages.

4. Common construction site accidents include:
• Scaffolding and ladder injuries
• Wall and roof collapses
• Falling tools and equipment
• Crane accidents and construction vehicle accidents
• Construction equipment defects
• Product liability
• Explosions, burns, electrical shocks, fires

5. Legal options include
Workers compensation claim
• Here, the injured employee will be entitled to payment regardless
of whether the employer had anything to do with the cause of
injury.

6. Personal Injury Lawsuit
• If the injured worker is not satisfied with worker’s compensation,
they can choose to file a personal injury lawsuit. Here, the worker
needs to prove that a person or entity other than the worker’s
direct employer is wholly or partially liable for the incident that
led to injury.

7. Products liability lawsuit
• If the worker is injured by defective equipment on construction
site, then the designer, manufacturer, or seller of the equipment
may be held liable.
