One of the Most Dangerous Industries in the U.S.
Construction work typically involves tradesmen and professionals who perform a wide range of functions. This may include heavy equipment operators, concrete workers, engineers, electricians, carpenters, bricklayers and masons, pipefitters, roofers, painters, laborers and steelworkers. Any of these workers may be exposed to hazards every day on the job site such as:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolds or roofs
- Heavy equipment accidents
- Defective power tools
- Falling objects
- Explosions and fires
- Structural collapse
- Cave-ins
- Construction zone accidents
- Exposure to asbestos and other toxins
- Electric shock and electrocution
Faulty safety equipment, inadequate safety procedures and lack of training can also cause injuries on construction sites. With multiple employers on one site, communication and consistent safety measures can be difficult to maintain. If a third party's negligence caused the accident, we may be able to file a personal injury suit in addition to your workers' compensation claim.
Construction workers can suffer debilitating injuries such as burns, crush injuries, amputations, broken bones, back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, toxic inhalation injuries and head trauma. Occupational diseases, from cancer to repetitive stress injuries, are also common construction injuries.
