Construction Site Accident in Rhode Island? Contact a Lawyer
A construction site accident may simply be a workers' compensation case between the worker and his or her contractor employer. Liability, however, may also extend to third parties such as subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers or auto insurance policies of delivery people visiting the construction site.
In order to determine how you may be compensated after an accidental injury or death of a family member at a construction site, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible. Construction sites change quickly, and in order to preserve all relevant evidence, the investigation should get underway promptly.
Construction accidents often occur as a result of interaction between humans and machinery and tools such as the following:
- Ladders
- Scaffolds
- Bulldozers
- Forklifts
- Power tools
Road construction sites often involve vehicles and road defects such as unmarked ditches. When liability extends to a third party, there may be third party liability claims in addition to any workers' compensation claim. Our personal injury lawyers are prepared to evaluate your case and advise you as to all available routes for obtaining compensation after an accident at a construction site.
