Who Is Responsible for a
Construction Site Accident?
With active construction sites all over Los Angeles California, Nevada, and Texas cities, it is no surprise that accidents happen. However, most of these accidents are preventable and result from improper safety precautions and negligent oversight. You deserve justice when another person or entity’s negligence resulted in your injuries. However, determining who is at fault for your damages can be complex.
Many parties are responsible for maintaining a safe work zone, so more than one party may be liable when accidents happen. Depending on your case, liable parties may include, but are not limited to:
- Construction site owners. Site owners may be responsible for ensuring the premises are reasonably safe for workers and visitors. However, their liability for accidents generally depends on how much control they have over the work site.
- General Contractors and subcontractors. General contractors and subcontractors are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of a construction site. They must ensure that workers follow safety regulations and that the site is free from hazards. If they fail to fulfill these responsibilities, they may be held liable for accidents that occur as a result.
- Equipment Manufacturers. Defective tools and machinery can cause severe accidents on construction sites. Equipment manufacturers are responsible for producing safe products and may be liable for injuries caused by faulty equipment. Equipment may be considered defective for design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate risk warnings and instructions.
- Architects and engineers. Architects and engineers design and plan building and structure projects. They are responsible for ensuring that the designs and plans they create adhere to safety standards and applicable building codes. They may be liable if an accident occurs due to a design flaw or failure to consider safety measures.
Determining liability in a construction site accident requires a thorough investigation and knowledge of federal and state applicable laws and regulations. Our experienced construction accident attorneys in Los Angeles can help uncover all potentially responsible parties after a construction site accident.
