Serious injuries or death can result at construction sites. Men and women in the construction industry often work from dangerous heights and with heavy machinery, risking their lives through falls and electrocution, among other injuries. Not only do the workers risk injury, but bystanders can get hurt.
Many construction workers experience a rate of work-related injury that is higher than the national average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many workers who are injured may not realize they may be entitled to more than just workers' compensation insurance.
A construction worker's company could be liable for an injury, but the involvement of a general contractor, construction manager, or site foreman may influence who is responsible for a hazard that remains undetected on a construction site.
Common examples of construction accidents include:
Workers injured can suffer from injuries requiring surgery, amputation, or causing blindness.
