Construction Accidents

Compared to other industries, the construction industry is known for its high rate of injuries and fatalities of workers, the majority of which are Hispanic. In 2004 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the construction industry had more fatalities than any other industrial sector.

Safety on construction sites is the responsibility of building owners, contractors and other employees of the construction companies. These cases often involve the rules of safety, supervision and planning. Occasionally, the employee doesn’t have the training nor the necessary equipment to do the job. The contractors are responsible for providing the safety and implementing security procedures.

Fink & Platz can help determine if you have a construction accident case. We will review the case to determine if your injuries were caused due to the actions of others.

Accidents that occur on construction sites include:

• Falls from poorly secured ladders and from heights such as beams and scaffolds or even roofs
• OSHA violations
• Contractor/subcontractor
• Accidents from excavation equipment
• Injuries and deaths due to defective machinery and tools
• Electrocution and burns due to faulty electrical installation
