Can I file a claim if the construction accident was preventable but the property owner was negligent?

Yes, if a construction accident was preventable and the property owner was negligent, you may be able to file a claim. In Tennessee, negligence law applies to most claims involving construction accidents. This means that the property owner had a duty to provide a safe environment for those working at the construction site, and if they failed in that duty, and an accident resulted, they may be held liable. To prove that the property owner was negligent, you must show that: 1) the property owner had a duty of care to provide a safe environment; 2) the property owner breached that duty of care; 3) the breach of duty of care caused the accident; and 4) you suffered damages from the accident. To bring a successful claim, you must also provide evidence of the property owner’s negligence. This could include photos of the unsafe conditions, reports from safety experts, or witness statements. An experienced attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence and support your claim. It is also important to remember that the statute of limitations for filing a claim can vary from state to state, so it’s important to act quickly. If successful, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. With the help of a qualified attorney, you can ensure that your rights are protected and get the compensation you deserve.
