If you or someone you love has been injured in a construction accident you should talk to our New York construction accident attorneys.
Who Was at Fault in the Construction Accident
Let's face it. A construction site is a dangerous place. There is heavy machinery, electrical wires that are exposed, scaffolding, and all kinds of hazards. When combined with negligence or carelessness it's a recipe for disaster. Examples of construction accidents include equipment malfunction, faulty safety equipment, falling debris, defective scaffolding, explosions, fire, structural collapse all of which can lead to negligence accidents.
When a construction site accident happens most times they are serious. By the time the dust clears and your injuries have been treated and/or you've been stabilized you might not be thinking a lot about negligence or who was at fault. You should be since a larger portion of construction accidents are a result of a careless or reckless act.
