Construction Accidents & Work Place Injuries

Construction sites can be dangerous places to work, are risky by nature, and accidents involving workers or bystanders occur frequently. When construction accidents do occur, they often result in serious and catastrophic injuries. Equipment malfunctions, defective machinery, unsafe work practices, inappropriate behavior by workers, falling debris or material, and alcohol or drug use are all potential causes of construction-site accidents.

Construction injuries can be caused by a combination of factors, such as failing to properly supervise a job site; failing to have a safety, health or loss control program; failing to conduct routine daily safety inspections; failure to inspect back-up alarms; and failure to adequately plan construction activities, to name a few. Construction site accidents and injuries can be caused by general contractors, sub-contractors, material suppliers, or other entities and their employees.
