Construction and industrial work sites are dangerous places, and many workers are injured and killed each year as a result of accidents at these sites. Injuries and fatalities are often caused by falls from scaffolds or through floor openings, electrocution, crane accidents, falling debris or dangerous machines. Sometimes, debris falling from construction work sites can also cause injuries to passersby.

Many times these accidents occur because the owners of these sites, or their contractors, fail to take the necessary steps to protect workers. Sometimes, these accidents are caused by defective machinery, or the failure to maintain construction equipment in a safe condition. Often injuries can occur as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals at these sites.

Injuries suffered as a result of construction accidents can be devastating. They often involve fractures, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burn injuries, and many times these injuries lead to fatalities.

Injured workers are often entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, and can also seek damages for pain and suffering, financial losses and emotional distress.
