Negligence in Hiring, Training or Supervision in Delaware
When an owner, contractor or subcontractor on a construction site hires a new employee, care must be taken to ensure that the employee does not pose an unreasonable risk of injury to others on the site. The prospective employee must have the necessary skills to perform the job in a safe manner, or must receive adequate training to ensure the safety of others. In addition, employees must be appropriately supervised, so that they don’t do things that put the safety of other workers in jeopardy. If you have been injured on a construction site by a co-worker who was under-qualified, poorly trained or working without reasonable supervision, we can help.
