Construction Site Injury

Construction site injury accidents occur quite frequently.  A construction site injury accident can have debilitating results and can leave you with hefty medical bills. This type of accident can include anything from a falling crane to back injuries due to heavy lifting.  According to a study conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), there are 5,703 deaths annually due to construction site related accidents.  The DOL admits that this number is on the decline but it still accounts for most workplace injuries in the U.S.

Thousands of construction workers are hurt or killed in construction site injury accidents every year.  It is a disturbing fact that 3.9 per 100,000 construction workers die annually according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and countless thousands suffer non-fatal but debilitating injuries.

Some of the accidents that can occur on construction sites include:

• Crane Accidents
• Scaffolding Accidents
• Electrocutions
• Defective Machinery
• Falling objects
• Mechanical Hazards
• Exposure to toxic or hazardous materials
• Elevated falls
• Slips/Falls

If you are a victim of a construction site injury accident, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the company that is responsible.  Accidents happen all the time, but that does not mean that you should be left to suffer or deal with lost wages or exorbitant medical bills.  That is a fact that many construction workers face every day.  Yet there is not an excusable reason for construction companies that neglect to implement an acceptable standard of safety on the construction sites.  A Personal Injury Lawyer can help you file a claim against those responsible for your injuries.
