Construction Injury

Construction site accidents can yield severe, life altering, and sometimes fatal injuries. Common construction-related injuries can occur as a result of any number of job-site accidents such as:

• Crane accidents

• Forklift accidents

• Heavy equipment accidents

• Power tool accidents

• Ladder collapses

• Scaffolding falls

• On-site equipment accidents

• Truck collisions

• Electrocution accidents

• Explosion or fire accidents

Electrocution accidents can happen while on the job, at home, or on another’s property where there is unsafe electricity present. Electrocution and electrical shock injuries often cause major medical emergencies and require a lengthy recovery. Explosions and fire accidents may cause major medical emergencies requiring lengthy recoveries from burns (chemical, electrical, thermal), inhalation or respiratory injuries.
