If a person is injured while walking on a public sidewalk beside a construction site when they are hit by falling debris, who is liable for the person's injuries?
The answer may not be a simple one. The construction company has a duty to protect the public by taking reasonable precautions such as removing bricks and assorted debris from public sidewalks close to their construction sites. Furthermore, a construction company also has a duty to post advisory warnings indicating that pedestrians may be at risk around the construction area. A failure of the construction company to adhere to any of their duties that results in a person sustaining an injury may enable the injured person to recover from the construction company. For example, if a construction company fails to erect barriers and warning signs by a construction area in which falling debris is landing on a public sidewalk, if a person is injured by such falling debris when walking on the public sidewalk, the construction company may be liable.
