Construction Accidents

Construction Accidents Attorney

Construction accidents often result in extremely severe or life-threatening injuries, as large and heavy equipment are involved. While many of these accidents are covered by the workers’ compensation statutes, the inaction of employers or the third party involved may go unnoticed and lead to minimal compensation for you or a loved one who has suffered in a construction accident. If you have sustained catastrophic injuries or your loved one was killed in a construction accident, you should not struggle financially because of the harm caused by the negligence of a third party contractor, property owner, or other entity. Contact Apex Attorneys now for a FREE consultation and let one of our incredible personal injury attorneys help with your case.

Types of Construction Accidents

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the leading causes of construction site fatalities are divided into the following:.

  • Falls
  • Struck-by-object accidents
  • Caught-in/between accidents
  • Electrocutions
  • Brazing/welding accidents
  • Collapses 
  • Fires and explosions 
  • Hand and power tool accidents
  • Heavy equipment and machinery accidents (e.g. cranes, forklifts, dumpsters)

Construction accidents and injuries can be prevented if safety practices are put in place, workers are provided with protective equipment (e.g. hard hats, safety belts, harnesses, nets), and proper safety protocols are followed. 

After seeking immediate medical attention for your injuries, we strongly recommend that you reach out to a personal injury attorney to file your claim. There is a limitation period for all personal injury cases in every state, meaning that your claim must be filed within 2 to 4 years of the initial injury depending on the individual state’s laws.
