If I am injured in an accident during the renovation of a family home, can the owner be held responsible?

Residential home owners are usually safe from liability, unless they instructed you on how to do the
job that resulted in your injury. Owners of rental properties or homes used for profitable business
purposes can be held liable and sued for damages.

Do I have to be a union member to sue for a construction accident?

No. Any worker that has been injured in a construction accident can pursue a construction accident
claim.

Whose legal responsibility is it to ensure that the construction work site is safe for workers?

Under most circumstances it is the owner's responsibility, the general contractor's responsibility
and the sub-contractor's responsibility to ensure a safe work environment for workers.

Can I sue if I have been injured and there was no one there to witness my accident?

In most cases, yes. Many construction accidents happen when there is no supervisor or co-worker
on site. As long as your story is consistent and no one comes forward to discredit you with
information against your claim, you should be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Are all construction site injuries covered by Workers' Compensation?

As long as the injured party was not engaged in horse play causing the accident and was not under
the influence of alcohol or drugs, the injury should be covered under Workers' Compensation law.
