Construction Accidents - Heavy Equipment Injuries

Claim Information

A construction accident claim may arise in a number of different ways. Frequently, one contractor may conduct its business in a dangerous or negligent fashion giving rise to injuries to others - such as a property owner, a member of the general public or the employees of a different contractor. (Under Hawaii law if the contractor's own employees are injured by its operations, this would generally give rise to a workers' compensation claim and there may or may not be a related construction accident PI claim.) Similarly, a property owner may fail to cure or warn about dangerous conditions on its property and this may cause a construction worker to be injured. Also, a contractor may use equipment which is dangerous or defective - or which is being operated or was assembled improperly - and which causes injury to a worker, a member of the general public or a propery owner.

Examples of Construction Accident Claims in Hawaii

Some examples of Hawaii construction accident claims are:
- Dangerous construction equipment having inadequate safety devices or warnings
- Cave-ins, sink holes, collapsing excavations, etc.
- Falls due to failures to barricade or warn
- A property owner's failure to warn of known dangerous conditions on the property
- A structure which collapses
- Injuries to the employees of one contractor caused by the activities of a different contractor
