Construction Equipment Accident Claim Information
QUESTION:Can you give me some Construction Equipment Accident Claim Information?
ANSWER: Construction Equipment Accident Claim Information
A construction or heavy equipment accident claim may arise in a number of different ways. One contractor may conduct its business in a dangerous or negligent fashion giving rise to injuries to others- such as a property owner or the employees of a different contractor. (Under Hawaii law if the contractor's employees themselves are injured, this would generally give rise to a workers' compensation claim and not an independent construction accident claim.) A property owner may fail to warn of dangerous conditions on its property and this may cause an employee of a contractor to be injured. A contractor may be using heavy equipment or other equipment which is dangerous or defective and which causes injury to a worker or to a propery owner.
Examples of Construction Accident Equipment Claims
Some examples of construction accident claims are:
Dangerous construction equipment having inadequate safety devices or warnings
Cave-ins, sink holes, collapsing excavations, collapsing structures, etc. which should have been prevented
Falls due to failures to barricade or to warn
Falls due to inadequate equipment or operations
A property owner's failure to warn of known dangerous conditions on the property
Injuries to the employees of one contractor caused by the dangerous activities of a different contractor
