Do I Have Grounds For A Construction Accident Claim?
Injured workers should be aware that suffering an injury in a construction or labor-related accident does not necessarily present grounds for a lawsuit. In order to have grounds for a lawsuit, the victim must have suffered his or her injury due to the negligence of another individual or entity. The party who caused the injury must have directly caused the victim's injury by violating a duty of care (a legal responsibility to act cautiously in certain dangerous situations). Additionally, the victim must have suffered either economic or non-economic damages to have a valid claim.
Who Is Responsible For Ensuring Safe Conditions At A Construction Site?
Both the property owner and the general contractor are responsible for ensuring the safety of construction workers on the property. In some cases, the subcontractor is also responsible. The extent of each party’s responsibility will vary depending on the specifics of the case. New York law is very protective of construction workers.
