Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents happen for many reasons, often due to negligence. We handle cases involving:
✔ Falls from Heights – Scaffolding accidents, ladder falls, and unsecured work areas.
✔ Falling Objects – Tools, debris, and materials striking workers or bystanders.
✔ Electrocution & Electrical Accidents – Faulty wiring, exposed power lines, and lack of safety precautions.
✔ Machinery Accidents – Cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, and other heavy equipment failures.
✔ Trench & Structural Collapses – Unsafe excavation practices leading to serious injuries.
✔ Burns & Explosions – Gas leaks, chemical spills, and improperly handled materials.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Construction Accident?
Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be responsible for your injuries:
✔ Construction Companies & General Contractors – Responsible for ensuring worker safety and OSHA compliance.
✔ Property Owners & Developers – Liable for hazardous conditions on a construction site.
✔ Equipment Manufacturers – If defective tools or machinery caused your injuries.
✔ Subcontractors & Third Parties – Electrical, plumbing, and scaffolding subcontractors may be responsible for negligence.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Construction Accident?
Construction accident victims may be entitled to compensation for:
✔ Medical Expenses – Emergency treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical care.
✔ Lost Wages & Disability – Compensation for time missed at work or long-term impairment.
✔ Pain & Suffering – Damages for emotional distress, PTSD, and loss of quality of life.
✔ Wrongful Death Benefits – For families who lost a loved one due to a construction site accident.
Unlike workers’ compensation claims, personal injury lawsuits allow for full compensation, including pain and suffering.
