Construction Accidents

Uncategorized

Statistics indicate that nearly 1,000 construction workers are killed each year while on the job. Of these, one-third will result from construction site falls. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), most of these construction accident deaths are preventable.

Even when a construction accident doesn’t end in a fatal injury, victims can be left permanently disabled. Broken and/or fractured bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burns, quadriplegia and paraplegia are common non-fatal outcomes of many construction site accidents.

Although every construction worker is trained in basic safety precautions for handling dangerous materials, proper machine operation, and fundamental hazard recognition, accidents still occur. Improperly labeled hazardous materials, faulty tools and equipment, and defective machines can make working on a construction site extremely dangerous.

Some of the most common types of construction accidents involve:

  • crane accidents
  • scaffolding accidents
  • compressed gases
  • skylight installation falls
  • roof crush accidents
  • floor opening falls
  • logging accidents
  • welding accidents
  • mesothelioma and asbestos disease
  • benzene cancer
  • work-related auto accidents

Construction Accidents and Workers Compensation

Uncategorized

If you were injured in a construction accident, any claims against your employer are likely covered under workers compensation laws. In most states, this means you can’t bring a lawsuit against your employer. However, that doesn’t mean you are unable to bring legal claims against other responsible parties.

Our construction injury lawyers will bring a claim against any third party that had responsibility for your accident. The owners, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment can be held responsible for inadequate safety provisions. The general contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe site, to warn of hazards inherent in the site and work, to hire careful employees, to coordinate job safety and to supervise compliance with safety specifications.

All of these parties, and their insurance companies, have attorneys at their disposal to fight for them. That’s why you need our experienced construction injury lawyers on your side, protecting your rights. If any of these third parties failed to fulfill their responsibilities to you, we will hold them accountable.
