You’re driving through Los Angeles when debris suddenly falls from a construction site and hits your vehicle.
Maybe it damages your windshield. Maybe you lose control of the car. Or worse, the impact causes a crash that leaves you or a passenger injured.
When construction debris causes an accident, figuring out who is responsible may be more complicated than a typical car crash.
Who Could Be Responsible?
Construction sites involve multiple companies and people, which means liability depends on what caused the debris to fall.
Potentially responsible parties could include:
A construction company
A contractor or subcontractor
A property owner
A company responsible for securing equipment or materials
Another party controlling the work area
The key question is whether someone failed to take reasonable precautions and that failure contributed to the accident.
What If the Debris Caused Me to Crash?
The debris does not necessarily have to directly injure you.
For example, if falling material causes you to brake suddenly, swerve, or collide with another vehicle, the circumstances leading up to that crash can still matter when determining responsibility.
What Evidence Should I Save?
If it's safe, take photos or videos of:
The debris
Your vehicle damage
The construction site
Signs identifying contractors or companies
Your injuries
The surrounding road
Dashcam footage and nearby security cameras may also help establish where the debris came from and how the accident happened.
