Personal Injury

Construction Site Accidents

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in America. Every year, thousands of workers and bystanders are seriously injured in construction-related accidents. According to federal statistics, more than 1,000 construction workers die each year in the United States.

Common Causes of Construction Injuries

Construction accidents can happen in many ways. Some of the most frequent causes include:

  • Falls from heights: Roofs, scaffolds, and ladders
  • Falling objects: Tools, materials, or debris striking workers or passersby
  • Heavy equipment accidents: Cranes, backhoes, forklifts, and trucks
  • Defective machinery or equipment
  • Electrocution from exposed wiring or faulty electrical systems
  • Fires and explosions on unsafe worksites
  • Exposure to harmful chemicals or substances

Why These Cases Are Complex

Construction accident cases often involve multiple parties—such as general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners. Workers’ compensation benefits may provide some relief, but they often do not cover the full scope of damages, including pain and suffering. In many cases, third-party lawsuits may be pursued to hold negligent parties accountable.
