When a construction site accident occurs, the owners, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment can be held responsible for inadequate safety provisions. The general contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe site, to warn of hazards inherent in the site and work, to hire careful employees, to coordinate job safety and to supervise compliance with safety specifications. Despite this, construction sites are filled with danger and as a result construction accidents happen every day.
The most serious injuries are usually due to falls from heights. However, even tripping over a piece of conduit can result in serious injury. Common injuries that occur at construction sites include:
- Broken and/or fractured bones (arm, neck, leg, back)
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Electrocution
- Quadriplegia
- Paraplegia
- Death
Severe injuries to construction workers are devastating. Since construction work is usually heavy duty and there is frequently no light or moderate duty work available, a serious injury can mean a loss of career. Since tradesmen are usually well paid and have excellent benefits, it’s almost impossible for the injured worker to find a comparable job. We have seen too many households fall apart over this tragedy.
Other causes of construction injuries include defective products and negligent manufacturing. In such cases, the claims would be against the manufacture of the products causing the construction injury rather than a construction company. Call us today to find out how we can help you.
