Construction Accident Injury

Answer:

There is a lot of construction in Oklahoma right now. We’re kind of in a boom area, and so there’s a lot of construction workers, and sub-contractors working throughout the state. There are occasions where you have many sub-contractors on the job at one time and they don’t always pay attention to what they’re doing, and sometimes one sub-contractor can hurt another sub-contractor. They could hurt them with dropping something on someone. They could cause something to give way and they fall. They could drop something from scaffolding and hit somebody on the head. There are a lot of ways things can happen.What do you do if you’re on a construction site and you’re injured? You have a workers’ comp claim, but you also have a claim against that third-party, another sub-contractor, for negligence and not conducting their business in a prudent and ordinary fashion. If they violate the safety rules that are on the job site and in the profession, then you have a claim against them. Seek an attorney to determine if there is a claim. They are not always clear cut; there are a lot of nuances that go into a construction injury case in Oklahoma.
