I was working at a construction site and was injured. Who can I sue?If you are injured while working at a construction site, it is important that you and your legal counsel consider all of the potential defendants who may be liable for your injuries. These can include other subcontractors whose employees were negligent, the property owner or the manufacturer and distributors of defective construction equipment and tools. Each case is different and it requires thorough investigation and careful review of the facts to identify the at-fault parties.
-
Can I file a lawsuit against persons or entities that caused my injury even if I am collecting workers’ compensation benefits?Yes. If third parties other than your employer caused your injuries, you may bring a “third-party” lawsuit against them even though you are collecting worker’s compensation are limited by state statute and do not include many significant damages such as pain, suffering, emotional distress or disfigurement.
-
What if my employer is at fault for causing my injuries?In New York and most other states you are barred from suing your employer for negligence. That means that if you or your employer is 100% at fault, you remedies will be limited to workers’ compensation benefits. There is a narrow exception where the conduct of the employer is so outrageous as to be considered intentional or wanton and reckless. However, if a third-party such as employee of another supplier or contractor contractor contributed to the accident, you may still file suit on a third-party claim.
-
What types of accidents occur on construction sites?Common types of accidents on construction sites include: Falls Electrical accidents Being struck by large objects such as extensions on heavy equipment Workers being caught by their equipment, such as power tools Nevertheless, studies have consistently shown that contractors can reduce construction site injuries by anticipating workplace hazards and consistently implementing and enforcing reasonable safety procedures.
