When construction workers are injured on the job, they may be eligible to seek damages for their injuries. Construction companies, general contractors, and subcontractors have a legal responsibility to provide a safe working environment for their employees, and ensure that every employee receives the proper safety training for his or her job. When a construction accident occurs, the contractor, developer, site manager, architect, property owner, insurance company, engineer, equipment manufacturer, and other employees can be held liable for damages.
