THE FOUR LEADING CAUSES OF CONSTRUCTION FATALITIES IN OKLAHOMA
OSHA identifies four leading causes of construction fatalities known as the Fatal Four. Falls from scaffolding, ladders, roofs, and elevated platforms are the leading cause of construction deaths nationwide. Being struck by falling objects, swinging equipment, or moving vehicles is the second leading cause. Electrocution from contact with power lines, faulty wiring, and electrical equipment causes hundreds of construction deaths annually. Being caught in or between equipment and machinery including trenching cave-ins and equipment rollovers is the fourth primary cause.
WHO IS LIABLE IN AN OKLAHOMA CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT?
Construction sites involve multiple parties and multiple potential sources of liability. The general contractor is responsible for overall site safety under OSHA regulations. Subcontractors may be liable for safety violations in their specific work areas. Equipment manufacturers may be liable if defective equipment caused the injury. Property owners may be liable if a dangerous site condition caused the accident. A third party such as another subcontractor may be liable even if your employer is not.
This is a critical distinction — even if workers compensation covers your injury you may have a separate personal injury claim against a third party that can result in significantly greater compensation.
OSHA VIOLATIONS AS EVIDENCE OF NEGLIGENCE
When OSHA investigates a construction site accident and issues citations for safety violations those citations are powerful evidence of negligence in your personal injury claim. Warhawk Legal works with OSHA investigators and independent safety experts to establish exactly what safety failures caused your injury. Learn more about OSHA construction standards at osha.gov.
