Second example: If you are provided with any equipment and told to use it without giving adequate training of how it is used, and those equipments are worked on electricity, later it was found that you electrocuted and got some serious injuries, here the negligence was shown by the employer for not providing you training. Thus depending upon the case of yours and the reason behind the accident the responsible party is identified.

Those employers will have another case upon them that is wrongful termination, and so they will be found messed up in 2 cases one is construction accident and the other to be wrongful termination.
