Salem County Construction Accident Lawyers
A Construction Accident can include injuries caused by defective or unreasonably unsafe equipment, falls from scaffolds and other elevations, electrocution, being struck by moving or falling machinery, health hazards resulting from exposure to asbestos and chemicals, and lifting and repetitive motion injuries. Whether on a small project for an individual homeowner, or for a major commercial development, on a daily basis construction workers must deal with some of the most dangerous working conditions faced by employees in any industry. As a result, serious work-related injuries at construction sites occur frequently. Regulations, specifications, inspection requirements, and job safety programs all seek to prevent construction site accidents and promote safety awareness on the part of all parties involved in a construction project. But despite these important efforts to deal with the challenge of construction site safety, accidents occur and will continue to occur, due to both the nature of the work itself and the variety of hazards faced by construction workers.
The type of system in place at a construction site where a Construction Accident occurs will be an important consideration in assessing the potential liability of the various individuals involved in the project, especially as to the site owner's liability. Larger construction projects typically involve a great deal of delegation of both work and legal responsibility: from site owner to general contractor; general contractor to 'prime' or 'sub'-contractor; and in some cases, 'prime' contractor to 'sub'-contractor. Speaking generally, in assessing liability for injuries at a construction site, a few things taken into consideration are the extent of a potential party's control over the premises on which the work is being done, and the degree of their control over the work itself; among other factors.
