Types Of Construction Accidents
If you look around the Dallas area, you can see lots of new construction happening. Office buildings, apartment complexes, and houses seem to be going up everywhere. With all this construction volume going on, the risk of an accident occurring only increases. Although many types of accidents could potentially happen on a construction site, some are much more common. The most common construction accidents include:
- Falls
- Electrocution
- Crush Accidents
- Collapsing structures or material
- Struck-by accidents
Unfortunately, falls are all too common on construction sites. Additionally, fatal falls are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the construction industry. If you have been injured from a fall on a construction site, contact a Bush & Bush Dallas slip and fall lawyer today.
Liability For Construction Accidents
Proving liability in construction accidents can sometimes be complicated. First, you should know that workers’ compensation can greatly affect how you can proceed with your claim. If your employer carries workers’ compensation coverage, you might not be able to file a lawsuit for a personal injury claim. However, private employers in Texas are not generally required to carry worker’s compensation insurance (TX DOI Workers’ Compensation Insurance Guide).
Liability for construction accidents can lie with different parties. These could include your employer, the property owner, contractors, or equipment manufacturers. There can also be many facets to a construction accident claim, including negligence, premises liability, unsafe working conditions, and other potential causes of action. Having an experienced attorney who knows how to properly investigate and resolve these claims is crucial to getting fair compensation.
