Construction is a dangerous industry. Falling objects, electrical malfunctions, welding accidents, and equipment failures can result in serious injuries or death. If you've been injured on a construction site, you may be entitled to workers' compensation or a personal injury claim against a negligent third party.
Common Construction Injuries
Construction workers face hazards including falls from heights, electrocution, being struck by equipment or materials, caught-in or caught-between hazards, and overexertion injuries. These injuries can result in temporary or permanent disability.
Your Rights as a Construction Worker
If you've been injured on a construction site due to unsafe conditions, inadequate training, or negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation. Workers' compensation typically covers medical expenses and lost wages, but you may also have a claim against third parties like contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners.
