Whenever someone is working in a construction site, there is a possibility of an injury, more so than would occur in other working environments. Because construction sites very often have a great deal of material and equipment around, the possibility of someone getting injured can increase.
The construction industry is heavily regulated by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) to ensure that proper safety procedures are followed. Nevertheless, accidents do happen in construction sites. If you or a loved one has suffered injury from a construction accident, seek the guidance of our firm!
Who Can Be Held Liable?
A person working in this environment has the duty to take precautions to avoid an injury. There can, however, be negligence on the part of others which can lead to an accident.

- Failure to enforce hard hat regulations
- Poorly maintained equipment
