Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents often occur due to negligence, unsafe conditions, or equipment failures. Common causes include:
- Falls from Heights: Unsecured scaffolding, ladders, or platforms.
- Falling Objects: Tools, debris, or materials striking workers or bystanders.
- Equipment Malfunctions: Defective or improperly maintained machinery.
- Electrocutions: Exposed wires or unsafe electrical setups.
- Trench Collapses: Insufficient structural support in excavation areas.
- Slip and Falls: Uneven surfaces, spilled liquids, or lack of warning signs.
- Crane and Forklift Accidents: Improper operation or equipment failure.
If negligence contributed to your injury, our team will investigate and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Common Injuries in Construction Accidents
Due to the high-risk nature of construction sites, injuries can be severe and life-changing. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

- Severe burns or electrocution injuries
- Amputations and crush injuries
- Respiratory issues from inhaling toxic substances
