Construction Injuries

Construction site victims suffer severe, sometimes fatal, injuries. Many of these deaths or injuries could have been prevented if the construction site had been properly inspected, maintained, and supervised. Thousands of people suffer injuries or become unnecessary fatalities every year while on construction sites.

There are many causes of construction site injuries and deaths, including falls, trench collapse, scaffold collapse, electric shock, forklifts, not using proper protective gear, and repetitive motion injuries. In some cases, employers disregard laws, regulations, and other safety requirements, thereby exposing their employees to dangerous conditions. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls are the leading cause of construction site deaths each year. Approximately 50 deaths and another 4,500 injuries occur annually as a result of scaffold-related accidents. Forklift accidents also account for 100 fatalities and 95,000 injuries per year. Stairway and ladder falls account for an additional 36 deaths and 24,882 injuries a year. Because of the nature of the jobsites, injuries that occur at construction projects are more likely to result in death than are injuries at other locations.
