Common Causes of Construction Site Accidents

Construction sites are inherently dangerous due to the nature of the work and the equipment involved. Despite strict regulations, accidents remain frequent. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has identified the "Fatal Four" as the leading causes of construction site fatalities.

  • Falls: These account for 38.7% of construction deaths. Workers often fall from heights like ladders, roofs, or scaffolds when safety measures are not properly implemented.
  • Struck by Objects: Around 9.4% of construction deaths result from being hit by falling tools, debris, or heavy equipment. Preventing these incidents requires adherence to safety protocols.
  • Electrocutions: Contact with exposed wires, live circuits, or faulty electrical setups causes 8.3% of construction fatalities.
  • Caught-In or -Between Accidents: These incidents, accounting for 7.3% of construction deaths, occur when workers are crushed between equipment, trapped in trenches, or caught in machinery.

Even when accidents do not result in fatalities, they can cause life-changing injuries, such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries. Factors like faulty scaffolding, poor training, or malfunctioning equipment can also contribute to hazardous conditions.

At Palace Law, we understand just how devastating these accidents can be. Our experienced team of Vancouver construction accident lawyers is dedicated to fighting for workers who have been hurt on the job.

Determining Liability in Construction Accidents

Construction sites often involve multiple parties, including property owners, contractors, subcontractors, and equipment manufacturers. Determining who is responsible for a construction site accident can be complex, as liability may fall on one or more of these parties:

Construction accidents often involve multiple parties, making it challenging to determine liability. Establishing fault requires a thorough investigation of the incident and an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of various entities on the construction site. Key parties who may be held liable for construction accidents include:

  • Construction Site Owners: If the property owner maintains significant control over the construction site, they may be held liable for injuries that occur.
  • General Contractors: General contractors are responsible for ensuring a reasonably safe work environment. This includes hiring competent workers, enforcing safety regulations, and ensuring safe work practices. If unsafe conditions lead to an injury, the general contractor may be held accountable.
  • Subcontractors: Subcontractors, or prime contractors, are responsible for specific tasks outlined in their contracts. They must maintain safety for their employees and address hazards related to their work.
  • Architects and Engineers: When injuries result from design flaws or a failure to meet safety standards during construction, architects and engineers may bear liability.
  • Equipment Manufacturers: Defective machinery or equipment can lead to serious accidents. Manufacturers may be held responsible if a defect directly causes an injury.
  • Multiple Responsible Parties: Serious construction accidents often involve the negligence of multiple parties. For example, both the property owner and the contractor might share liability if unsafe site conditions and poor oversight contributed to the accident. Identifying all responsible parties is critical to securing full compensation.

Navigating these complexities requires expertise. That's why it’s important to work with a skilled Vancouver construction worker injury attorney who can investigate and identify all liable parties in your case.
