Civil Cases
Construction safety expert witnesses are frequently engaged in civil cases, including workplace injury lawsuits, wrongful death claims, and contract disputes. They assess whether proper safety measures were implemented and adhered to, reviewing practices related to fall protection, machinery operation, hazardous material handling, and general site management. Their analyses often identify breaches of standard procedures or negligence, which could contribute to accidents or unsafe working conditions. These findings form a critical foundation for claims involving personal injury or disputes over construction safety compliance.
Criminal Cases
In criminal cases, particularly where construction site accidents result in severe injuries or fatalities, safety experts play a key role in assessing whether negligence or intentional disregard for safety protocols occurred. They evaluate factors such as inadequate training, lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), or failure to enforce OSHA standards. Their testimony can help establish whether wrongdoing, gross negligence, or even criminal liability is attributable to responsible parties. Additionally, in cases involving catastrophic events like structural collapses, safety experts may collaborate with structural engineers to analyze combined causes and assess liabilities.
