Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs, and results in high rates of workplace accidents causing serious injuries. Construction workers, laborers, and even supervisors, encounter dangerous conditions every day. The mechanical equipment is hazardous. The excavators, loaders, scaffolding, forklift, tractors, scrapers, and materials each carry risks of severe injury or death.

Many injuries occur on job sites because work conditions expose the laborers or workers to unreasonably dangerous equipment or materials, failure to comply with safety rules and regulations, lack of proper or functioning safety protection gear or equipment.

Eye injuries. Back injuries. Fall injuries. Electrical burns and electrocution. Heavy machinery or equipment hazards or malfunctions. All workers are exposed to these risks, most of which can be minimized or eliminated by compliance with safety rules or regulations.

Parties may be liable, or held responsible, for these injuries, including:

• general contractors 
• subcontractors 
• property owners
• property managers 
• insurance companies 
• architects 
• engineers 
• product manufacturers: heavy machinery, equipment, products or materials used at the site 

Any of these parties or products may be responsible for the devastating injuries, depending upon the facts of your case. 

While workers compensation may in some cases prevent workers from obtaining money damages from the employer for injuries, other non-employer parties – called "third parties" (i.e. general contractors, subcontractors, property owners and/or property managers, insurance companies, architects, engineers, or the manufacturers of the heavy machinery, equipment, products or materials used at the site) – may be held liable for negligence.

In the case of an ultra hazardous activity or product malfunction or defects, under strict liability principles, liability may be established against one of these parties without having to prove negligence or breach of duty.
