Who is at Fault in a Construction Accident?
Even though everyone knows construction accidents are incredibly dangerous, many people who have been injured do not know they may have several options to recover financial compensation for their injuries. The complicated part of these cases is being able to determine who is liable for the accident. Accidents could involve the property owner, general contractor, contractors, subcontractors, or even the equipment company. Depending on the nature of the accident, it could be one person or several people and/or companies. Determining this will help in seeking the compensation you deserve.
Construction Site Injuries are Serious
Construction accidents typically result in serious injuries due to the hazardous environment, tools, and equipment that surrounds a construction site. The accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael F. Mahoney have experience and know how to represent victims of these tragic injuries:
Construction accident deaths
- Amputation
- Head injuries
- Neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries

Third-Party Claims
Since many contractors and subcontractors work together from different companies, there are cases where a person is injured by someone who is not employed by the same company. You can still seek financial compensation when this happens by filing a third-party claim. A third-party claim is handled like a regular personal injury claim – which means it is not subject to the same limits as worker's compensation.
