Construction Accidents

Sometimes, the simple act of going to work is the most dangerous thing a person can do.

Every year, construction accidents hurt and kill hundreds of workers. The construction industry is especially hazardous. Often, employees are confronted with dangerous, life-threatening working conditions.

Construction accidents happen when workers become victims of trench cave-ins. They fall from tall buildings, are hurt when cranes tip over and when scaffolding collapses. They're electrocuted and burned by chemicals.  

Sometimes, employers put profits ahead of worker safety. They cut corners to save time, and unnecessarily increase the chance of a construction accident happening at work sites.

Some states have weaker regulations than others. Often, there is no inspector around to alert people to safety issues and help avoid construction accidents before they happen.

Workers' compensation laws can severely limit the payments a person injured in a construction accident can collect.  But there may be other remedies to hold the responsible parties accountable.  Attorneys must have intimate knowledge of state and federal regulations, and laws providing rights to workers and their families.
