Understanding Construction Accident Cases

Common Causes

• Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs
• Struck by falling tools, materials, or debris
• Trench collapses and excavation cave ins
• Electrocution from contact with live wires or ungrounded equipment
• Caught in or between heavy machinery and equipment
• Crane collapses and rigging failures

Typical Injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries from falls and struck by accidents
• Spinal cord injuries from falls at height

Establishing Liability

Construction accident claims often involve multiple liable parties including the general contractor, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers. OSHA citations issued after a construction accident serve as powerful evidence that safety standards were violated. The general contractor typically has overall responsibility for site safety, and evidence of inadequate safety training, missing fall protection, and ignored OSHA requirements establishes strong negligence claims.
