Construction Site Injury Accidents

Construction site accidents kill and injure thousands of workers each year. Despite legal and trade provisions in place to prevent construction accidents, one out of every ten construction workers suffer some kind of on the job injury resulting from, for example:

• Falls
• Scaffolding, Crane, Derrick, Conveyor, Ladder, Winch, Grater, Scraper, Backhoe, and Boiler Accidents
• Fire and Explosion
• General and Sub-Contractor negligence
• Non-Compliance with OSHA regulations

Injured construction workers are typically entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits, assuming that those benefits are even available. Worker's Compensation, even if it is available, does not cover any expenses or damages outside of lost earnings and medical care, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, loss of consortium, and other kinds of damages.

When a construction site accident occurs, responsibility for the personal injury can be attributed to a variety of individuals or businesses, including the owners, contractors and subcontractors, engineers, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment. Therefore, even if you or a family member are entitled to Worker's Compensation benefits, you may also be entitled to compensation from the negligent party that caused the accident to cover those damages not paid by worker's compensation.
