How can one establish fault in a construction accident caused by a falling object?

Like most personal injury cases, a construction site falling object accident involves negligence or carelessness. This type of case is usually directed at the construction company for negligence. In order to win a negligence case, the plaintiff must provide evidence relating to the following four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damage. He/she must prove that:

·         The construction owner had a duty to maintain a safe area within the construction site.
·         The construction owner broke that duty by not taking steps and measures to ensure safety of the construction area.
·         The construction owner’s failure to exercise reasonable care caused the injury.
·         The victim suffered damages from the falling object.

  1. While I was working at a construction site with a drilling machine, I received a shock due to the improper design of the power cables. As a result, I dropped the drilling machine on my leg. I was severely injured and had to be hospitalized for three months. What should I do to claim compensation?

    1. In order to file a successful claim, your attorney must prove that:
      The construction owner had a duty to maintain a safe area within the construction site.
      The construction owner breached duty by not taking steps and extra measures to ensure safety of the construction area.
      The construction owner failed to exercise reasonable care, which caused you injury and damages.
