Everyone at a construction site shares the responsibility of maintenance of safety on-site. This includes the workers, foremen, owners. contractors, subcontractors, and even the equipment manufacturers. Because of the substantial overall degree of potential danger present on a construction site, it is vitally important that significant safety guidelines are in place and followed. Construction work is some of the most hazardous work in the country; a significant portion of supervisory responsibility on a construction site is devoted to safety.
In general, workplace injury is covered by workers compensation laws. These laws, managed at the state level, create separate avenues for legal and insurance settlement of workplace injury, standardizing compensation and injury severity standards. While workers compensation laws apply in many cases, they do not necessarily cover every Holyoke construction accident.
Differences in laws between states, as well as the circumstances of your Holyoke construction accident, must be considered with regard to your case. In addition to the particulars of law and circumstance, the various types of relationship between injured worker and responsible party (supervisor, owner, contractor, equipment manufacturer, etc) must be considered. Any or all may bear some degree of responsibility for the injury.
