Injury Law - Construction Site Accidents

Sacramento Construction Site Accident Lawyer, Sacramento Construction Site Injury Accident Attorney

Construction workers deal with some of the most dangerous working conditions faced by employees in any industry. Construction accident injuries can result from errors in judgment, faulty equipment, falls from scaffolds, being struck by falling materials or machinery, defective or unreasonably unsafe equipment, chemical leaks or explosions, electrical accidents, and electrocution injuries.

In the United States construction is a very large industry. It is also a high risk industry. It ranks third in the rate of injury caused deaths, following mining and agriculture. For every 100,000 workers 15 die due to injury. Some construction site hazards that result in death or serious injury are:

Scaffolding accidents
Falling from a high location
Motor vehicle crashes
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Forklift injuries
Electrocution
Machinery accidents
Getting hit by falling items
Crane Accidents

Construction workers generally cannot sue their employers or co-workers for negligence outside of workers' compensation. However, the general contractor or another subcontractor may be liable for damages. Because of the high accident rate and the fact there is no limit on damages, construction contractors are usually required to carry ample insurance coverage.
