Common Construction Accident Types in Connecticut

OSHA identifies four leading causes of fatal construction accidents, collectively called the “fatal four”: falls from elevation, being struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in or caught-between injuries. Together, these account for the majority of construction fatalities each year.

Beyond the fatal four, serious injuries also arise from:

• Scaffolding collapses caused by overloading, improper assembly, or lack of guardrails
• Trench and excavation collapses that trap workers under tons of soil
• Machinery malfunctions from defective or poorly maintained equipment
• Explosions and fires resulting from gas line strikes or hazardous material mishandling
• Vehicle accidents on or adjacent to active construction sites
• Slip and fall incidents caused by debris, wet surfaces, or unmarked hazards

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Construction Accident

Liability in a construction accident rarely falls on a single party. Connecticut law allows injured workers and bystanders to pursue claims against every party whose negligence contributed to the harm. We investigate each case thoroughly to identify all responsible parties and gather the evidence needed to hold them accountable.

Depending on the facts, liable parties may include:

• General contractors who had authority over site safety and failed to enforce it
• Subcontractors whose workers or practices created dangerous conditions
• Property and site owners who permitted unsafe conditions to exist
• Equipment and tool manufacturers responsible for defective products
• Engineers and architects whose designs created foreseeable hazards

We consult engineers, safety professionals, and medical experts as needed to build a comprehensive case. Common grounds for liability include OSHA safety regulation violations, absence of fall protection, defective materials, and failure to maintain a reasonably safe job site.
