Responsibility for a construction accident can lie with various parties, depending on the circumstances:

-Employers: They are responsible for providing a safe working environment, proper training, and adequate safety equipment. Failure to do so can make them liable.

-General Contractors: They oversee the project and ensure that all safety regulations are followed by subcontractors and workers.

-Subcontractors: They can be held accountable for the safety of their employees and adherence to safety standards.

-Property Owners: If the property owner failed to address known hazards, they could be partially liable.

-Equipment Manufacturers: If faulty equipment contributed to the accident, the manufacturer could be held responsible.

-Other Third Parties: This could include architects, engineers, or other entities involved in the construction process.
