Construction Accidents
The hazardous nature of construction work means that safety protocols must be explicitly followed to prevent accidents and injuries. Unfortunately, when safety measures are overlooked, severe injuries or even death can occur. Our Personal Injury legal team at UBFK Law has extensive experience with construction accident cases. We are dedicated to advocating for the rights of injured workers.
Common Types of Construction Accidents
- Falls from Heights
Injuries from falls can range from broken bones and spinal cord injuries to traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and death. These accidents can occur due to unsecured ladders and scaffolding, faulty harnesses and safety gear or inadequate training on fall prevention.
- Scaffold Collapses
Scaffold collapses can result from overloading scaffolds beyond their weight capacity, using substandard materials, lack of proper bracing and support, or inadequate inspection and maintenance.
- Electrical Accidents
Electrical accidents on construction sites can lead to severe burns, electrocution, and death. These accidents often occur due to exposed wiring, lack of proper circuit protection, poorly maintained electrical equipment, or inadequate training on electrical safety.
- Equipment Malfunctions
Equipment malfunctions can occur due to defective machinery, lack of proper maintenance, operator error due to inadequate training, or failure to follow safety protocols. These malfunctions can be catastrophic to your health and safety.
