Types of Construction Accident Cases
Construction accidents can occur in various forms, and our attorneys are experienced in handling a wide range of cases, including:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and other elevated work areas are common on construction sites and can lead to serious injuries or death. These accidents often occur due to inadequate safety measures or defective equipment.
Heavy machinery and equipment are integral to construction sites but pose significant risks if not properly maintained or operated. Accidents involving forklifts, cranes, and other machinery can result in severe injuries
Construction sites often involve working at various heights, which increases the risk of falling objects. Tools, materials, and debris falling from higher levels can cause serious injuries to workers below.
Electrical hazards and exposure to harmful chemicals are common risks on construction sites. Electrocutions and chemical burns can result in life-threatening injuries and long-term health issues.
Excavation and trench work are necessary for many construction projects but carry the risk of trench collapses. These incidents can cause severe injuries or fatalities, often due to improper safety protocols.
Construction sites often involve the use of various vehicles such as trucks, bulldozers, and backhoes. Accidents involving these vehicles can occur due to operator error, poor maintenance, or lack of proper training.
Failures in the structure of buildings or other constructions can lead to catastrophic accidents. This can result from design flaws, poor construction practices, or the use of substandard materials.
Construction work often involves repetitive motions that can lead to injuries over time. These injuries may include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.
