CONSTRUCTION
ACCIDENTS & INJURIES
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.
Our
construction experts are
familiar with all regulations
that are supposed to be at all
construction and demolition
sites, and they will work with
our team to ensure that the
rights of all injured workers
are protected.
At

services to our clients. We
