CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
Each year thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in construction site accidents. Even though construction companies are typically obligated to inspect each site with safety engineers and provide safety programs, accidents still occur.
Generally, an injured worker cannot sue his or her own employer for injuries arising out of work related activities; however, if it can be shown that a third party's negligence caused the injuries, that party can be held liable. The Mehr & Alvandi Law Firm is experienced to handle both your workers compensation claim and if applicable, the third party claim arising out constructions accidents.
Additionally, in some instances workers may be injured at a construction site due to their own inadvertence or due to a condition that was no person's fault. When a worker is injured due to his or her own negligence or that of his or her employer, or due to a condition which was nobody's fault, that injured party can still receive compensation through Workers Compensation.
One out of every 10 construction site workers is injured on the job every year. While the most common cause of on the job injury for construction workers is falling, back injury accounts for 25 percent of all work-related injuries, with legs, arms, and hands the next most common. There is an average of 11,200 disabling injuries every year in this industry for workers, while accidental injuries are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States . In fact, the state with the greatest number of accidental deaths from all sources is California.
General contractors and sub-contractors are just as responsible as employers for what takes place on the work site. Like employers, they are required to warn of job site hazards, to hire responsible contractors, to coordinate job safety, and to supervise compliance with safety regulations.
The following are some of the accidents which may occur on construction sites:
. Crane accidents
. Scaffolding accidents
. Nail gun accidents
