Construction Accidents

You should consult a construction accident lawyer as soon as possible, regardless of how severe or what kind of injuries you got in the accident. It is in your best interest to retain legal representation as soon as possible following a construction accident, whether you intend to pursue workers' compensation or file a civil complaint against a third party that was responsible for the incident.

On construction sites, falls account for around one third of all accidents, making them the most common cause of injury. Accidents like these frequently take place when a worker is knocked to the ground after falling from a scaffold, ladder, roof, or chimney, among other places. The length of the fall and the circumstances surrounding it both have a role in determining the severity of the worker's injuries sustained as a result of the fall.

High-rise construction is notably the most hazardous, with falls being the leading cause of fatalities. These accidents account for approximately 40% of construction-related deaths, highlighting the critical need for stringent safety measures to prevent falls from height.
