• Lack of safety guards or warning signals
• Improper use of cranes, forklifts, or loaders
• Faulty repairs or missing maintenance logs
• Unsafe site layout or poor traffic control

If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or a faulty piece of equipment, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
