A jobsite injury can look like one event while still raising several liability questions. When the hazard came from working above ground, I kept it in the height group. When the problem turned on a particular regulation, I separated that from product liability. For the category I wanted to revisit, I bookmarked New York construction accident liability with the construction folders. The next category is notice and negligence, which is different from asking whether a product was defective. The tool or machine can be the real source of the problem, so I would separate machine condition from the other site issues. I treated the workers' comp process as a different track from the fault-based construction lawsuit, because benefits and fault can be related without being identical. Notice matters most when a site defect existed. Once each issue had its own bucket, the accident became a few focused questions.
