Construction Site Falls
A fall from a roof or ladder can result in broken bones, injuries to the head and spinal cord, and in some cases, life-threatening injuries.
Common causes of construction site falls include:
- Unsafe scaffolding
- Uncovered holes
- Debris and equipment scattered on walkways
- Lack of safety equipment, such as guardrails, netting and harnesses
Construction workers are vulnerable not only to falls, but also to having objects and debris fall upon them. Unsecured equipment and debris can fall off of scaffolding, into trenches or other locations, which can cause serious head injuries to workers below.
Whatever the cause of your accident, it is important to know your legal rights. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident, you may be entitled to personal injury compensation in addition to your workers' compensation benefits. Our lawyers will work with you personally to help you pursue compensation from all available sources.
