Working at a construction site is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Each year thousands of construction workers are killed and injured in the course of their employment. When these accidents occur, parties such as the owners, architects and equipment manufacturers may bear responsibility for your injuries. And because subcontractors are often involved in construction projects, third parties may also be responsible.

Construction equipment manufacturers also have a responsibility to design and maintain safe products intended for use at the work site. These products include: cranes, derricks, hoists, conveyors, power tools, scaffolding, woodworking machinery, ladders, winches, trucks, graters, scrapers, tractors, bulldozers, forklifts, back hoes, earth moving equipment, boilers, pressure vessels and gas detectors, as well as many other types of construction equipment.
