Due to the hazardous conditions experienced daily by those working in construction areas, personal injury is an ever present possibility.  Construction Accident injuries may result from errors in judgment, faulty equipment, being struck by falling materials or machinery, chemical leaks or explosions, electrical accidents, and electrocution.  These conditions may result in serious personal injury and even death.  Despite the best efforts of OSHA and numerous laws aimed at protecting workers from  Construction Accidents, creating a perfectly safe work environment is a near impossibility. Because of this, Workers Compensation, a “no-fault” system, exists to provide fixed monetary benefits for those injured on the job. However, this is not always enough to cover the high cost of a  Construction Accident. In these cases, there are several parties who may be at fault and found liable for damages, including owners, contactors, design engineers, and product manufacturers.
