Construction injuries are some of the most common workplace injuries. Construction sites are by nature more dangerous places to work simply due to the physical work, equipment and tools, heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and combination of different crews and workers being orchestrated at the same job site at the same time.

This also means that the injuries on the jobsite can range from fairly minor cuts and scrapes to catastrophic and fatal injuries. Because of the likelihood that more than one company is involved in any injury on a construction site, with some companies choosing to subscribe to workers’ compensation or general liability insurance, construction injury cases can be complex and difficult to navigate for attorneys who are unfamiliar with these issues. You will need an experienced attorney who is well-versed in handling these cases in order to protect your right.

Common Causes of Construction Worker Injuries

According to OSHA, the “fatal four” causes of injuries that construction workers face most commonly on the jobsite are:

Being struck by an object that has fallen or is being moved
Electrocutions
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, etc.
Getting caught in machinery or between equipment

These incidents can result in head injuries, brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, general back injuries, contusions, lacerations, amputations, burns, broken bones, and internal injuries.
