Construction Site Accidents and Injuries Can Be Prevented

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and other construction laws set out strict federal regulations regarding safety standards. Property owners, contractors, subcontractors and others are required to comply with OSHA standards. Equipment and safety procedures that are not up to standards can pose serious harm to construction workers.

Due the hazards present on construction sites, and the types of accidents which can occur, construction workers often sustain serious and catastrophic injuries. Workers sustain severe burn injuries as a result of fires and explosions and brain injuries as a result of falls from heights and being struck in the head by falling objects.

Our firm represents people who are injured in construction site accidents as a result of:

  • Falling debris
  • Lack of safety nets
  • Equipment failure
  • Uncovered holes
  • Slippery surfaces
  • Falls from scaffolding
  • Falls from ladders
  • Crane accidents
  • Exposure to asbestos and cancer-causing materials
  • Heavy equipment accidents

 

 

 

 

 

Our firm also represents people who are injured while visiting construction sites for a variety of reasons, such as building inspectors and delivery drivers.
