Most Common Risks Workers Face

These are some of the most common construction site accidents and what you can do if you or a loved one has been injured on the job.

  • Falls – Falls are the leading cause of construction site injuries and fatalities. Workers can fall from scaffolding, ladders, or other elevated platforms. They can also slip and fall on uneven or slippery surfaces. Falls can result in broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and even death.
  • Struck by an Object – Workers can be struck by falling debris, equipment, or tools. This type of accident can cause head injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries.
  • Electrical Accidents – Construction workers are exposed to live wires, faulty equipment, and other electrical hazards. Electrical accidents can result in burns, electrocution, and even death.
  • Trench Collapses – Excavation and trenching work pose a significant risk to workers. Trenches can collapse, trapping workers and causing suffocation or death.
  • Machinery Accidents – Heavy machinery such as bulldozers, cranes, and excavators can be dangerous if improperly operated. Workers can be crushed, pinned, or caught in machinery accidents.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction site accident, it’s important to seek legal advice immediately. A skilled construction site accidents lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and fight for the compensation you need and deserve.

Compensation for Your Injuries

Some of the damages you may be entitled to include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Your lawyer can help you gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.

Remember, if you’ve been injured on the job, you don’t have to suffer alone. Contact the construction site accidents lawyer at Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law today to schedule a free consultation and learn more about your options.
