What are the risks of decoration construction?

Cases in which decoration workers are injured in construction and claim compensation account for a large proportion of personal injury compensation cases every year. There are also many owners who have been inexplicably accused of accidentally injuring workers during renovation. Since we know that there are risks, consumers need to understand the composition of risks and how to avoid them.

What are the risks of decoration construction?

Who will bear the responsibility for personal injury in decoration? When it comes to personal injury compensation, we must first clarify the relationship between workers and owners. If the owner and the decoration company signed a home improvement agreement, then the owner and the workers only have the obligation to provide convenience for their construction. Once an accident happens to a worker, the decoration company will assume the employer's responsibility for the worker.

On the other hand, if the workers are found by the owners, such as the construction team found by the roadside, it is necessary to distinguish the situation again. If the contractor contracts the project (with decoration qualification) and organizes workers to carry out the construction, the contractor shall bear the responsibilities of the employer to the workers. If the owner knows that the contractor is not qualified or has no conditions for safe production,

The owner will be jointly and severally liable with the contractor. If the owner directly hires workers to carry out the construction, the owner will be liable to the employer. Here, the core of distinguishing responsibility is whether the owner and the employee constitute an employment relationship or a contractual relationship. If it is an employment relationship, as an employer, the owner should be responsible for the injured workers. If it is a contractual relationship, if the owner is not at fault, there is no obligation to compensate. The purpose of employment is to provide services, and the purpose of contracting is to complete certain work results; At the same time, the risks in the work are borne by the contractor in the contract and by the employer in the employment relationship.
