Construction Accidents happen to thousands of hard working Americans every day. Construction sites can be among the most dangerous places to work. Unsafe conditions at the worksite or the negligence of others can cause accidents, giving rise to construction negligence claims and/or a worker’s compensation case. Some of the many types of construction accidents include:

• Falls from scaffolding or a roof top
• Stairway or floor or wall collapse
• Electrocution
• Trenching/excavation accidents
• Demolition accidents
• Welding, cutting or brazing accidents
• Combustible or compressed gas hazards
• Crane or lift accident
• Defective products used on site

Construction accidents are usually someone’s fault. Far too frequently, companies bypass rules set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to save money, time or both. But safety violations cause accidents. Worker’s compensation benefits may not be enough to fully compensate the injured worker.
