Construction Accidents

Construction accidents may result in amputations, broken bones, third-degree burns, crush injuries, spinal cord and brain injuries, and essentially every other possible type of physical injury.

Construction accidents happen thousands of times per year in the U.S., and many construction accidents are fatal or cause permanent disability. Construction — whether of buildings, roads, trenches, mines or other structures — is an inherently dangerous field of work, but some construction accidents are caused by negligence on the part of an employer, contractor, or others.

Severe or Fatal Injuries

Construction accidents may result in amputations, broken bones, third-degree burns, crush injuries, spinal cord and brain injuries, and essentially every other possible type of physical injury. Permanent disabilities are not unusual; nor are fatalities, despite the efforts of state and federal occupational safety agencies.

Some of the most common types of construction accidents include:

  • Brazing, cutting, welding accidents
  • Building collapse
  • Crane accidents
  • Electrical accidents
  • Explosions
  • Falls
  • Fires
  • Fork lift accidents
  • Gas explosions
  • Logging accidents
  • Nail gun accidents
  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Structure failures
  • Trench collapses
  • Unsafe equipment accidents
 

Individuals hurt in any of these construction accidents may not only be eligible for workers’ compensation but may also be entitled to civil damages from a negligent third party.

Construction Accident Damages

The losses incurred by the injured and his or her family may include:

  • Medical bills
  • Permanent disability
  • Loss of income, both present and future
  • Funeral and burial costs in fatal construction accidents
  • Pain and suffering
