The construction industry employs over 6 million people in the
United States and is considered one of the country's most
dangerous professions.
Each year over 8,000 construction workers are injured or killed
on the job, and the statistics seem to continue to rise despite
new regulations imposed by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration.
Dozens of workers are involved in construction-related
accidents every day. Many of these accidents could have been
avoided if the employer offered proper training and supplied
adequate safety equipment.
Heavy, dangerous equipment, often defective, is usually
blamed in construction accidents. Injuries are often
life-threatening. Scaffolding accidents, electrical shocks,
severe gashes caused by sharp tools and falling equipment
leading to serious head and brain injuries are just a few of the
potential dangers laborers face.
When a construction accident occurs it is often difficult to
determine who may be at fault. Injured workers have filed
lawsuits against architects, contractors and subcontractors.
Every situation is different. Matters get even more confusing
when worker's compensation laws are factored in. Worker's
compensation regulations forbid an employee from filing a
lawsuit against an employer over a construction accident. An
experienced attorney familiar with construction accident law is
necessary when filing a complaint.
Please contact us if you have been injured in a construction
accident for a no cost, no obligation analysis of your injury's
