Construction sites are dangerous. People can, and do, get injured when they least expect it. Include the many different ways someone can be injured on a construction and the potential for injury is quite large. Construction work sites can be hazardous due to a variety of work related equipment such as heavy machinery, loose power tools, ladders, lifts, toxins, exposed wires, falling objects and/or miscellaneous construction debris lying around. It does not matter whether you were a pedestrian who was injured by continuing construction, or you were working on the site when you were injured. In both instances, the best advice for you would be to contact Rancho Cordova, personal injury attorney who is familiar with construction laws. We at Aiken and Jacobsen have a combined 50 years’ experience in handling cases of this nature and we want to help you recover any losses sustained due to your accident.
According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, last year alone 796 people were killed in construction related accidents. While not all construction accidents are fatal most accidents resulting from the construction industry can have lifelong effects.
Common construction site accidents include:
- Scaffolding falls
- Electric shocks
- Burns
- Chemical spills
- Explosions
- Crane accidents
- Falling materials, such as rock or brick
Whether you’re a worker or a passerby construction sites are dangerous. However, that doesn’t mean managers are not bound by law to keep employees or visitors safe from harm.
