What Causes Accidents on Construction Sites?

These accidents can happen for many reasons, often due to negligence or unsafe conditions. Examples include:

• Falls from heights: Workers are required to operate on scaffolding, ladders or rooftops, making falls one of the most common and dangerous risks;
• Electrocution: Contact with exposed wiring or power lines can lead to severe burns or even death;
• Vehicle collisions: Roadside workers face the threat of being struck by passing vehicles, especially when drivers are distracted or speeding;
• Falling objects: Tools, materials or debris falling from elevated positions can cause significant head or body injuries; and
• Equipment failures: Malfunctions in machinery or faulty equipment can result in serious accidents, leaving workers injured.

A lawyer with construction accident experience can be critical in identifying all of the responsible parties and helping you seek compensation for your injuries.
