Dedicated Rhode Island Construction Site Injury Lawyers
Many of the most devastating construction site accidents in Rhode Island occur on or near the sites themselves.
The building of residential or commercial properties continues to grow in Providence and throughout the state of Rhode Island. Sadly, this increase in construction activity equates to a rise in construction site accident injuries. There are numerous hazards on a construction site, including heavy machinery, dangerous power tools, scaffolding, ladders, lifts, electrical wires and boxes, construction debris, and falling objects.
Each employer and/or contractor has a legal responsibility to keep their construction sites safe for workers (and passerby’s). Their responsibilities include the implementation and enforcement of safety procedures, the proper maintenance of equipment, and responsible supervision of the workers themselves.
