Just like property owners have a legal obligation to make certain that their property is safe, those involved at construction sites are responsible for the safety of others as well, such as contractors, work site supervisors, job site superintendents, and /or property owners. Serious and sometimes catastrophic injuries can occur at construction sites, at work, at commercial establishments, and even at private residences where renovations/construction may be performed. Unsafe and/or hazardous conditions can cause injuries to workers and/or visitors or passersby where construction is being performed.
Some common causes of construction site/work related accidents include the following:
- Roofing accidents
- Scaffolding accidents
- Falling objects/equipment
- Fires or explosions
- Electrical
- Heavy equipment failure or misuse
- Tool misuse or mishaps
- Crane accidents
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury during work, at a construction site, or even visiting a site, please contact our office for a consultation to determine what your options may be.
