Construction Accidents
Most construction accidents that happen in the workplace could have been avoided if the company had followed health and safety regulations. Unfortunately many companies do not follow strict health and safety guidelines as construction workers are more likely to be killed by construction accident than any other type of employment. Some of the most common accidents on construction sites are:
- Scaffolding Accidents
- Lifting equipment failure
- Welding accidents
- Trench Collapses
- Falls from roofs
- Crane Accidents
- Forklift truck accidents
- Electric Shock Injury
- Trench collapses
- Accident caused by fire or explosion
- Road Traffic Accident
- Compressed Gases Accidents
- Falls from ladders
- Unsafe safety harnesses
- Electrocutions
- Accidents from faulty machinery
- Power tool accidents
- Holes in flooring
A common cause of construction accidents is general wear and tear of equipment and machinery. If your machinery or equipment is not maintained and serviced regualary then you could be at risk of a personal injury.
If you have had a work-related accident causing a personal injury then you could be entitled to claim damages. The money you could be awarded could be from loss of earnings, loss of livelihood, trauma and the injury itself can have a major impact on somebody's life and put their ability to earn a living and live comfortably in great jeopardy.
