Experienced Attorneys Fighting for Injured Workers
Understanding Construction Accidents
Construction accidents encompass a wide range of incidents that can occur on construction sites, including falls, electrocutions, being struck by objects, and equipment malfunctions. These accidents can result in severe injuries, disabilities, and even fatalities. It's crucial to understand the common causes of construction accidents and the legal protections available to injured workers.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents often stem from various factors, such as:
- Falls from heights due to inadequate safety measures or defective equipment
- Electrocutions caused by faulty wiring, exposed electrical components, or unsafe practices
- Being struck by falling objects due to improper securing of materials or lack of overhead protection
- Equipment malfunctions due to poor maintenance or defective machinery
- Trench collapses due to inadequate shoring or unstable soil conditions
- Exposure to hazardous substances, such as asbestos or lead
The Impact of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents can have a devastating impact on the lives of workers and their families. The physical injuries can be severe, requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. The emotional and psychological trauma can be equally debilitating, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, the financial burden of medical bills, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity can be overwhelming.
