Accidents in the Construction Industry - A Guide for Personal Injury Lawyers

Introduction

This webinar is aimed at both claimant and defendant personal injury lawyers to help you deal with accidents in the construction industry.

Those at work on construction sites mainly work on sites controlled by those other than their employers.

Knowing who to sue, or who to join as a party to defend a claim, can be complicated and expensive if you get it wrong.

By viewing this webinar you will learn how to navigate the various regulations that impose statutory duties regularly encountered in the construction industry in order to establish or defend a case in negligence.
