LA Law Firm: Protecting Construction Workers’ Rights After Job Site Accidents
At LA Law Firm, we understand the risks construction workers face daily on the job. Construction sites are inherently dangerous, and, unfortunately, injuries are common. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction site accidents rank as the second-highest cause of fatal workplace injuries across industries. Many of these accidents result from negligence, meaning they could have been prevented with proper safety protocols. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury on a construction site due to another party’s mistake or negligence, LA Law Firm is here to help you seek fair compensation for your injuries, pain, and suffering.
Understanding Construction Site Injury Risks
Construction work is labor-intensive and physically demanding, often involving heavy machinery, elevated heights, and strenuous physical activity. These factors expose workers to potentially severe injuries, which can lead to long-term consequences or even wrongful death.
Common Construction Site Injuries Include:
- Cuts and lacerations
- Bruises and contusions
- Dislocated joints
- Concussions
- Broken bones and fractures
- Eye injuries
- Burns or electric shocks
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Leading Causes of Construction Accidents
While construction sites are dangerous environments, many injuries result from preventable errors or negligence. In numerous cases, these accidents are due to inadequate safety measures or employer oversight. According to safety surveys, the most frequent causes of construction site injuries include:
- Falls from heights or on the same level
- Overexertion
- Bending, climbing, or slipping incidents
- Being struck by objects
- Vehicle-related accidents (e.g., cars, trucks, forklifts)
- Getting caught or compressed by machinery or objects
- Repeated motion injuries
- Violent acts, abuse, or assault on-site
Our team at LA Law Firm specializes in identifying the cause of the injury and holding responsible parties accountable, whether it’s a construction company, a third-party contractor, or a manufacturer of faulty equipment.
Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit for Construction Accidents
Construction companies have a legal responsibility to provide a safe work environment, implementing all necessary safety measures to protect their employees. When accidents occur due to the company’s failure to ensure workplace safety, injured workers are entitled to seek compensation. This compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and the physical and emotional toll of the injury.
If you or someone you know has been injured on a construction site, filing a personal injury lawsuit may be the best way to secure the justice and compensation you deserve. LA Law Firm’s experienced personal injury attorneys are here to support you through each step, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies or litigating in court.
