Types of Construction Accidents

Construction sites are very dangerous places to work. There are a number of different types of accidents that can occur while working as a roofer, electrician, or other construction roles. A construction accident may happen because of issues with equipment, unstable surfaces and platforms, toxic substances on a site, and other issues. In any case, the causes of construction accidents can often be traced to negligence.

Slip and fall accidents
Falling objects

Who is Liable for Construction Accidents?

A construction accident may be the fault of several different parties. There are many people who are responsible for maintaining the safety of a construction site, as well as third parties who can cause injury to construction workers if they are negligent. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the federal safety watchdog that establishes many of these safety rules that construction companies all over the country must follow. Violating OSHA's rules not only opens these companies up to fines, but may also open them up to liability for injuries caused by these safety violations. Our construction accident lawyers in New Mexico will evaluate the details of your case to determine the cause of your injuries and identify who is liable for the damages.

Your injuries may have been caused by the negligence of parties such as:

Construction site managers and employers
Safety inspectors
Equipment manufacturers
Other workers

What You Should Know About Third Party Work Injury Claims

In many industries, injured workers can file a workers’ compensation claim if they are hurt on the job. However, this is not the only option for recovering compensation after an occupational accident. You may be able to file a third-party legal claim to receive coverage for your damages.

A third-party claim resembles a personal injury lawsuit more than a workers' compensation claim. These claims differ from workers’ compensation claims because they allow injury victims to hold their employer accountable for their damages. Additionally, an injured construction worker may be able to recover compensation for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering by filing a third-party work injury claim.

Depending on your work situation, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim to receive coverage for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. We can help you understand your circumstances and legal rights following a construction accident.
