How Negligence Connects to Site Debris Accidents

When property owners, supervisors, or general contractors fail to follow safety guidelines or take small steps to clean up a construction site, it can put workers in danger. These individuals should be held accountable for their negligent actions when injuries result.

We can prove negligence by demonstrating:

  • You were owed a reasonable duty of care;
  • A party violated that duty of care; and
  • Their violation caused your injuries.

In cases where only workers’ compensation claim is filed, negligence does not need to be proven. However, when you want to pursue a third-party claim against a negligent party outside of your employer, you must be able to demonstrate their negligence. This is why it is crucial to have a seasoned legal professional behind your case — especially when rightful compensation and your well-being are on the line.
