Direct answer: point 2

A construction-site injury review usually begins by separating the roles involved: the project owner, property owner, general contractor, subcontractor, employer, trade contractor, equipment provider, and any party directing the particular work. The key dispute may concern control of the task, the area, or the instrumentality involved in the injury.

• Identify the project and the specific phase of work.
• List the employer, contractor, subcontractor, and property contacts known to you.
• Describe the task, location, equipment, and instructions involved.
• Preserve communications without altering or annotating the originals.

Relevant record holders: point 1

Potential record holders can include the injured person’s employer, the general contractor, the relevant subcontractor or trade contractor, the property or project owner, the equipment owner or rental company, and the company responsible for site safety or supervision. A record request should be directed to the entity most likely to have custody of the particular material.

• Employer: assignment, training, personnel, injury report, payroll, and workers’ compensation-related records.
• General contractor or project manager: daily reports, schedules, safety plans, meeting materials, subcontractor coordination, and incident records.
• Trade contractor or equipment provider: operator qualifications, inspections, maintenance, delivery, rental, and repair records.
• Owner or property representative: contracts, access information, project communications, and records concerning the area or premises.
• Witnesses and coworkers: names, contact information, photographs, messages, and contemporaneous observations.

Relevant record holders: point 2

The Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation provides an official starting point for injured-worker claims, coverage, and employer records. If a vehicle crash also formed part of the event, TxDOT provides official statewide crash-report and crash-data starting points; that does not mean TxDOT investigated or controls the particular construction scene.

Disputed issues: point 1

Construction cases may turn on competing accounts rather than a single document. Questions can include who assigned the work, who could stop or change it, who controlled access, who selected or maintained equipment, whether warnings or training were provided, and whether records accurately describe conditions at the time.

• Control of the task, area, equipment, or instrumentality.
• Whether the work assignment and safety instructions matched the actual conditions.
• Whether a contractor, employer, owner, or equipment provider had a relevant role.
• Whether photographs, logs, inspection records, and witness accounts agree.
• Whether an employment, public-entity, product, or other legal framework affects the records that should be reviewed.

Disputed issues: point 2
