Determining Liability in a Construction Accident

When it comes to construction site accidents, it can be difficult to determine who is legally responsible for an accident. Since construction sites often involve multiple people and entities working on the same project or visiting the site, liability can quickly become very complicated. However, it's important to know who was at fault so that you can file your personal injury claim against the right parties.

Several parties may be found liable in a construction accident, including:

• The company contracted to do the work
• The developer or landowners of the property where the work is being done
• The company hired to maintain and service equipment
• Subcontractors working on the job
• Coworkers and other employees of the construction company
• Vehicle and equipment manufacturers and/or distributors
• Parts manufacturers and/or distributors
• Third parties involved in the accident but unaffiliated with the construction project

It's always best to seek the guidance of an experienced attorney (like ours at the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz) when trying to identify the right parties that should be held accountable for your or your loved one's construction site accident.

It is important to remember that, in New Mexico, you only have three years from the date of your injury to bring a personal injury claim and four years to file a claim for property damage.
