In the event that a laborer in Virginia 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 Virginia construction accident attorney can determine the reason for the accident and then hold responsible those whose negligence led it to occur.

One of the most dangerous jobs in America is construction. Around nine million people are employed in construction jobs, or around six per cent of the total work force in America. Yet 20 per cent 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 trained Virginia construction accident lawyer.

One of the most common forms of accidents on a construction job is a fall. Construction workers often must toil at substantial heights, and falls from such heights can be serious, if not fatal. Other forms of construction accident injuries include scaffold collapse, defective forklifts, electric shock, trench collapse, trips or falls and repetitive motion injuries. Another recurring accident has been construction crane collapses. A qualified Virginia construction accident lawyer can help.
