This is just another reminder to contractors, subcontractors and other tradesman who do dangerous business that safety should be taken seriously. One small fall can cost your project bad press, an OSHA investigation, workers compensation claims and rate increases, insurance battles, and more.
Chris Hill, a construction attorney with Durrette & Bradshaw, published an article recently on his “Construction Law Musings” blog titled: Be Ready In Case Of A Construction Disaster.
Chris’ point?
“If you are unlucky enough to be an owner, architect, engineer, or contractor on a project that results in disaster, you need to get legal counsel, immediately contact your insurance company and have an independent third party evaluate the situation. For further steps, please check out this article I wrote for Business Law Bulletin of Virginia.”
His article in the Business Law Bulletin of Virginia is a great resource for contractors all over the country faced with construction accidents or disasters. More resources can be found at our prior post here.
