If I’m Injured on a Construction Site, What Rights Do I Have?
Construction sites are generally dangerous areas. People, especially workers there, have to wear safety gear, hard helmets, and there’s a lot of rules and regulations that go into construction sites. If you’re injured it’s probably because one of the companies or businesses working on the site failed to do something properly – acted carelessly in implementing their own safety procedures or other rules and regulations that are necessary for a safe work site.
As a pedestrian who happens to be on a construction site that gets injured, you may have rights against a variety of companies and businesses that are working there. As a worker, you may have rights against not only your own employer through the worker compensation laws, but you may have rights against other companies that are working there. Against property owners that failed to do something. Against other entities other than your employer that failed to act properly or acted carelessly on the construction site.
