Construction Accident Fatalities Are Common
Each year, hundreds of construction workers are killed in accidents that could have and should have been prevented. While the DOB and OSHA don't have the resources needed to ensure that every contractor and construction company is following proper safety protocol, these organizations are hoping that by levying large fines and even pursuing criminal charges will inspire owners and managers to take the necessary steps to keep employees safe.Often, construction accident victims and their loved ones have the right to file a lawsuit against the party responsible.
