If you, a family member, or a friend have been injured whilst working on or around a building site and consider the injury to be the fault of a third party, then you could be entitled to compensation.
There are certain workplace regulations which employers must comply with to ensure that the construction or building site is safe for the employees and the general public who may come into contact with the site. Our specialist team of accident at work lawyers assist many building and construction workers in bringing injury compensation claims.
The most common scenario of being injured on a construction or building site is by a moving or falling object, where they are dropped or dislodged by individuals working at height, or where they have been inappropriately stored.
There are occasions when objects will fall due to severe weather conditions such as gale force winds or hurricane storms. Any damage caused may have resulted as “An Act of God” and not negligence. If you are injured by a falling tree or branch then you may have a claim against the land owner or occupier.

In general you have three years from the date of injury or reasonable knowledge of injury to bring a compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to a legal team as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
