Construction Worker Accidents

If you are the victim of a construction accident...turn to Kimmel Carter.

Construction workers face very dangerous working conditions. Serious work-related injuries frequently occur at construction sites. Hazards can include moving or falling machinery, heavy objects, falls from high elevations, defective or unsafe equipment, electric currents, asbestos and chemicals.

The law requires that certain measures are taken on construction sites to protect workers from inherent hazards. Generally speaking, contractors are required to:

  • Take precautions to create a reasonably safe work site
  • Warn of inherent hazards at the site
  • Hire employees who are cautious and skilled
  • Supervise the work site to ensure compliance with safety specifications

Sometimes, however, safety precautions prove to be inadequate. This can result in devastating injuries to construction workers and other bystanders. When a construction site accident occurs, many parties can be liable: owners, architects, fellow on-site workers, and manufacturers of equipment.
