Your Alabama construction accident lawyer takes your side in Alabama

Passed into law in 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was created to encourage safe working conditions in occupations such as those on construction sites. The Act allows states to enforce and develop such standards on their own, which 21 states have done. The remaining 29 states and the District of Columbia are covered by the federal act and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It is focused on outlining and enforcing the act's safety measures in the work place. When that such standards are disregarded and a construction accident injury transpires, a knowledgable Alabama construction accident attorney can assist.

One of the most dangerous jobs in this country is construction. Around nine million persons are employed in construction jobs, or around six per cent of the total work force in America. Yet a fifth of job fatalities each year come from the construction industry. Thus, those who work in construction suffer a far higher rate of injury or death from a construction accident than those in most other jobs. Such persons may need a skilled Alabama construction accident lawyer.

In the event that a laborer in Alabama is hurt in a construction accident, chances are it is the responsibility of the designer, operator, supervisor or owner of the construction site. Contractors and subcontractors also have an obligation to ensure that the site is safe for their laborers. As an employer, a contractor/subcontractor is liable for injuries suffered by employees on the contractor's construction crew. Bystanders also may be harmed, for which owners of the site also may be found at fault. An experienced Alabama construction accident attorney can determine the reason for the accident and then hold responsible those whose negligence led it to occur.
