Understanding Construction Accidents

Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments with numerous hazards that can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities. Workers face risks from heavy machinery, high elevations, electrical equipment, and falling objects. Despite safety regulations and standards, accidents still happen due to negligence, inadequate safety measures, or faulty equipment.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can occur in various ways, including:

• Electrocutions: Contact with live electrical wires or faulty electrical systems can lead to severe injuries or death.
• Caught-In/Between Accidents: Workers can get caught in or between heavy machinery, equipment, or collapsing structures.
• Machinery Accidents: Malfunctioning or improperly used machinery can cause severe injuries, including amputations or crush injuries.

Common Construction Accident Injuries

Proving Liability in Construction Accident Cases

To hold a construction company or contractor liable, you must prove they either created the dangerous condition or failed to address it within a reasonable time. Evidence is crucial, including:

• Photos of the accident scene
• Eyewitness testimony
• Maintenance logs
• Safety inspection reports
• Video footage

Gathering this evidence can be challenging, especially if the defendant possesses it. An experienced attorney can help secure and present this evidence effectively.
