Walkways are often cramped and uneven, people perform different jobs simultaneously in a confined space, and surfaces may be wet. Tools and materials might be left or stored in areas people must move through. Many jobs at construction sites require workers to perform their tasks above ground level.

Contractors and their workers are often pressured to complete jobs quickly and might not be as careful as they would be otherwise.

However, you are still out-of-pocket for the portion of your wage workers’ compensation does not cover, and receive no compensation for the pain, suffering, and inconvenience of the injury. Although you cannot sue your employer, you could sue any third party whose negligence contributed to the slip and fall. Depending on the circumstances, there are usually many third parties who could bear responsibility, including: - Safety inspectors - The property owner - The project manager - Materials manufacturers - Other contractors working at the site Any person, company, government agency, or employee whose action or inaction could have prevented the incident is potentially liable for a construction site slip and fall accident in Las Vegas. Once one of our experienced lawyers identifies the parties responsible, they could assert a claim for your losses. Damages could include: - The portion of your wages workers’ compensation doesn’t cover - Compensation for your pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life - Any unreimbursed costs related to treating and accommodating the injury If the injury prevents you from resuming your former job, damages could also include a sum reflecting your diminished earning capacity.

If the city could be a defendant in a lawsuit, you must provide official notice within six months of the incident. You might have a claim against the city if they own the property or contracted for the work. You also might have a claim if a city inspector failed to catch a condition that led to your accident.

Investigating construction accidents can be challenging or even impossible once significant time has passed. It is the nature of construction sites that conditions change quickly, so immediate investigation is likely to yield the most valuable evidence.
