People working in the construction industry are
exposed to tremendous hazards and dangers. If a construction worker is injured
these injuries are often devastating to the workers and to their families.
Every year thousands of construction workers and laborers are killed or
seriously injured while working at construction sites. The latest statistics for
workers in the United States indicate that there were 5.7 million occupational
injuries and illnesses among U.S. workers. Accidents on the job result in the
deaths of 6,000 workers each year. This occurs even though many state and
federal regulations, as well as industry standards, require owners, general
contractors and sub-contractors to implement a wide variety of safety measures.
The nature of construction site accidents requires early legal intervention and
investigation due to the near daily change of the scene of the accident itself.
If you have been injured at a construction site, call us now before it is too
late. We have handled construction accident cases and know what needs to be
done.
Construction accidents can occur due to a variety of factors:
Lack of shoring in an excavation.
Unsafe ladders - ladders that are too short or
that are not opened all the way can contribute to construction accidents.
Holes in flooring - contribute to falls.
Improperly assembled scaffolding.
Electrocution.
