Early this year we are dumbfounded by the news of a collapse of a scaffold causing a worker to fall 20 feet from above.
Time and time again, we hear news like this. This is because the construction industry has consistently registered high rates of workplace accidents. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration had been unsuccessful in reducing injuries and fatalities in the construction sites especially among construction workers.
This is equally true in
We should understand that like most American workers, construction industry employees are legally entitled to a workplace free of hazards and foreseeable accidents under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This could be better understood when a lawyer expert on the field is asked to handle the case.
The liability of an employer is undeniable. However, the battle is like between David and Goliath, Goliath being the huge and powerful construction company. In other words, a case against the employer, though liability is clear, is difficult to pursue. This is because the construction company, aside from having all the resources in defeating the claim, has the best lawyers at its side.
My message is this, always be prepared. Do not go to battle unarmed. Hire the best Los Angeles Construction Liability Lawyer.
