While the law does not allow workers to sue their employers while they collect workers compensation benefits, injured construction workers are more likely to have a case other than Workers’ compensation claim because construction work typically involves multiple contractors, subcontractors, providers and etc. While in some cases the claimant must file under the California Workers Compensation Act, in most cases it can be shown that a third party was at fault for causing the injury. Generally, property owners, architects, contractors, and/or equipment manufacturers can all be held liable for insufficient safety measures if the injury producing event was avoidable by exercising reasonable care, and that the accident cased your injuries. The general contractor and all subcontractors are responsible for providing the appropriate safety provisions to ensure that the construction site is reasonably safe. It is their obligation to warn of possible hazards on the site, to hire employees who will use caution while working, to coordinate job safety, and to check that appropriate safety specifications are being followed. With hundreds of employees and subcontractors on construction sites trying to complete their goals quickly, it is no wonder that construction accidents are growing more common at an alarming rate.
