Construction Site Accidents

Construction sites can present a number of dangers that place workers at risk of an injury, ranging from mild to life-threatening, or death. Because of its very nature, those working in the construction industry are at risk of being injured as a result of a wide range of causes, which can include:

• Missing, defective or insufficient safety equipment
• Missing or badly placed warning signs
• Old or malfunctioning power tools
• Dangers from falling tools, debris, materials and equipment
• Floors and road conditions that can promote a variety of accidents, including tripping or falling
• Unsupervised machinery that is left running
• Falls from unsafe or poorly secured scaffolds, roofs, and ladders

In many cases, due to a sore lack of safety protocols on site, it becomes a matter not of whether an accident will happen, but rather when it will take place. Most of these accidents, which can include fractures, amputations, spinal damage, paralysis, and death, will alter a person's life forever. It is because of this, that when an accident occurs, the injured worker or his surviving family must take appropriate steps to maintain his rights intact, which translates into retaining legal counsel.
