When a construction accident leads to injury or wrongful death, there are many entities who could be the liable parties in your injury. Arizona law permits victims to file claims against the:
Owners of the property or worksite
Architects
Contractors involved
Engineers
Designers
Construction managers
Manufacturers of the equipment (where an injury is caused by the use of heavy equipment)
When workers sign on for the construction industry, they understand the risks involved, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t get the right to compensation due to negligence at a work site. A violation of acceptable safeguards is dangerous, and workers may be seriously injured.
Although companies want to get their jobs done quickly, it is never okay to endanger their workers.
