“Safety first” should be the motto of every well run construction project. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. When projects fall behind schedule or run over budget, worker safety is often the first thing to be compromised, leading to unsafe scaffolding, malfunctioning equipment, inadequate fall protection, and rushed crews working in dangerous conditions.
Construction sites often have many subcontractors present, making it difficult to track down the responsible parties after an accident. Often more than one entity, whether it’s the general contractor, a subcontractor, an equipment manufacturer, or a property owner, shares responsibility for creating unsafe conditions. Injuries from falls, electrocutions, crane accidents, and equipment malfunctions can be severe and life altering, and navigating a claim on top of recovery is overwhelming for injured workers and their families.
