Proving Negligence in a Construction Accident
In construction accidents, proving negligence is essential for holding the responsible parties accountable. This involves showing that the property owner, contractor, or subcontractor didn’t take the necessary precautions to protect their workers. Negligence could stem from a lack of proper training, failure to enforce safety rules, or providing unsafe equipment.
Building a Strong Case for Negligence
To prove negligence, we often rely on investigating the history of the construction site, reviewing safety protocols, and gathering testimony from experts. It’s also important to show that the failure to follow safety protocols was not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of neglect. This “system failure” approach strengthens the case and makes it more compelling in court.
