Construction Accidents
Construction workers have one of the most dangerous jobs. Each day, workers in the construction industry must deal with heavy work equipment, elevated scaffolding, unsafe ladders, and dangerous machines. It is no wonder that construction workers sustain injuries from job related accidents at an alarming rate.
Common construction accidents include slip and fall accidents, defective equipment accidents, motor vehicle accidents, work zone accidents, and electrocution accidents. These serious accidents can lead to severe, life threatening injuries such as spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, head injuries, burn injuries, and even wrongful death.
If a construction worker is injured on the job, they may be entitled to compensation from their employer. This is called workers compensation. The law protects construction workers by allowing them to seek reparations to cover expenses such as their medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
