Falling Objects on Maricopa County Construction Sites are a Danger, According to Arizona Injury Lawyer
Most construction sites are bustling places filled with all different kinds of people, from construction company employees to subcontractors. When everyone follows the proper safety regulations, and remains in compliance with OSHA, workers are typically safe. With that said, there are time when a subcontractor may not follow proper protocol and an accident occurs. One type of construction site accident we’ve seen in Maricopa County involves falling objects – which can lead to severe injury and even death.
When these kinds of accidents do occur, the victim may have a right to file a personal injury claim in addition to filing for workers’ compensation. However, most times, workers aren’t allowed to bring a personal injury claim against their own employer. Known as the Exclusive Remedy, this means that to file a workers’ compensation claim, the workers cannot file a lawsuit against their employer or co-workers. But the rule does not prevent a worker from being allowed to file a personal injury claim against a subcontractor.
