Construction site injuries can happen in an instant, but can change your life forever. Workers on a construction site are exposed to serious hazards each and every day. Special laws in South Carolina are designed to protect the safety of construction workers. If you, or a loved one, as been seriously hurt at a construction site, you need to understand your rights regarding compensation owed to you under the law. Many times, even if workers’ compensation may be in place, an injured person may have legal claims against companies other than your employer, such as the manufacturer of dangerous equipment, or any other companies or people who may have caused the injury. Some examples of potentially responsible defendants include:

Crane manufacturers and operators
Forklift manufacturers and operators
Aerial lift manufacturers and operators
Commercial vehicle drivers and trucking companies
Pneumatic nail gun manufacturers and operators
