1. Who is Responsible for a Construction Site Accident?

2. Accidents at construction sites can be dangerous and can leave people with serious or sometimes fatal injuries.
Determining liability can be complicated as many parties are involved in a construction site project.
The following are the parties who may be held liable for construction accidents:

3. Property Owners
Property owners are responsible for keeping and maintaining their properties in a reasonably safe condition.
If someone is injured on their property, they may be liable if they knew or should have known of the dangerous condition but did nothing to avoid or prevent any possible accident.

4. General Contractors and Sub-Contractors
It is the responsibility of general contractors and sub-contractors to warn workers of any defects or hazards at the site, as well as any hazards inherent in the work being performed.
If they fail to perform these duties, they may be held liable for accidents.

5. Architects and Engineers
It is the duty of architects and engineers to ensure compliance with plans and relevant code regulations.
They may be held liable for accidents suffered by construction workers resulting from their failure to meet these standards.

6. Manufacturers of Defective Construction Machinery or Equipment
It is the duty of manufacturers to design products that are safe to use.
If an accident occurs due to a defect in a product, the manufacturer may be held liable.
