Construction Site Accident Claims
Working in the building industry can be extremely dangerous, which is why it’s vital employers take the necessary steps to prevent construction site accidents.
Over the past 25 years, around 2,800 people have been involved in fatal building site accidents and many more suffer from accidents at work each year.
Site employers have a legal responsibility to ensure the working environment is safe, and this includes making sure you have the right tools for the job, the machinery is in working condition, you have the appropriate safety wear provided, and have sufficient onsite training for the different tasks of your role.
If you’ve been injured in a construction site accident that wasn’t your fault and suffered as a result of your employer’s negligence, you have a right to claim for accident at work compensation.
