-
Photos of the situation

-
Photographing machines / materials

4. Seek legal help immediately
With a lawyer you increase your chance of maximum construction accident compensation.
Common causes of construction accidents
Common situations that lead to construction accident compensation:
-
Falling from ladders, scaffolding or aerial work platforms
-
Falling objects such as tools or materials
-
Collapse of building structures
-
Accidents involving machines
-
Tripping or slipping due to obstacles
These situations often lead to serious injuries, such as amputations, brain injuries, broken bones or permanent disabilities.
Liability in the event of a construction accident compensation
The employer has a legal duty of care. This means that the employer must ensure:
-
Safe working materials
-
Clear and understandable safety instructions
-
Supervision in the workplace
-
A safe work organization
Is this duty of care violated?
Then the employer is liable for your construction accident compensation.
Employers are almost always insured, which means that damage can be recovered without any problems.
