Hourigan, Kluger & Quinn Attorneys
Learn how construction accident claims work and why liability may extend beyond the employer.
Construction site injury cases are rarely limited to a single responsible party. While workers’ compensation covers most employee injuries, there are often additional third-party liability opportunities that are not immediately obvious.
One key issue is that construction sites frequently involve multiple subcontractors working under different companies. This creates overlapping responsibility when safety protocols fail.
A lesser-known factor is that OSHA violations do not automatically determine civil liability, but they often become powerful supporting evidence in negligence claims.
Equipment-related injuries also frequently involve manufacturers or rental companies, especially when machinery malfunctions or lacks proper safety guards.
These cases require detailed investigation into site control, supervision, and safety coordination between contractors.
