Can I claim compensation for a construction site accident?

Employers have to follow many rules on construction and building sites to keep workers safe and avoid accidents from occurring. If they have not followed these rules and you have been injured, you may be able to claim compensation. These rules include but are not limited to:

Carrying out full risk assessments for the jobs being carried out and any tools or machinery you may need to use.
Providing training to employees on using tools and equipment safely and correctly.
Supplying suitable protective clothing and equipment.
Ensuring all machinery is in good working order with regular checks and maintenance to ensure it’s safe to use.

Sometimes, several people are responsible for an accident on a construction site, so, if you have been injured, it’s always best to speak with an expert solicitor who will be able to advise you on making a claim. They will investigate what happened and find out who is at fault. Even if you think you were partly to blame for the accident, you may still be able to claim compensation.
