Can I Recover Damages for a Weather Related Accident on a Construction Job?

 

A: If you are a construction worker who has contracted a heat related construction illness or suffered a cold weather construction injury, then you may be entitled to damages under certain circumstances.  For example, if your employer fails to provide you with the necessary gear to prevent frostbite during the winter or heat stroke during the summer, then you may be entitled to damages for your work related injuries.

Specifically, you may be entitled to damages if your employer failed to take reasonable safety precautions for reasonably anticipated weather events.  However, you may not recover damages for unexpected or unforeseeable weather events that were simply acts of God.
