What is the difference between a construction accident and a personal injury case?

The difference between a construction accident and a personal injury case in Arkansas is the liability of potential defendants. In a construction accident, negligence or recklessness of another party that is related to the construction process may be the cause of injury. This could include the construction company, owner of the construction site, manufacturer of tools and equipment, or a contractor employed to work on the site. As such, all of these entities could potentially be held liable for the injury sustained. In a personal injury case, only the party responsible for the injury can be held liable. This could be another individual, an organization, or a combination of both. Even if a personal injury is related to a construction accident, the negligent party will usually be the individual or organization responsible for causing the accident. In terms of who can be held accountable, Arkansas allows for victims to bring a lawsuit against an individual, organization, or combination of entities for both construction accident and personal injury cases. The main difference lies in the manner in which the injury was caused and who is liable for the negligence or recklessness that caused the injury.
