CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

Construction work puts you in a dangerous place

Working at a construction site is one of the most risky occupations in the United States.  Hundreds of thousands of workers are killed or injured in construction site accidents each year.

When a construction worker is severely injured, the results can be devastating

Serious injury to a construction worker can mean the loss of a career.  Since tradesmen are typically well paid and have excellent benefits, it is extremely difficult for an injured worker to find a comparable job.  Since the nature of construction work is often heavy, light duty is usually not an available option.  The long-term effects of a serious construction site injury can tear a family apart.  At Shefren Law Offices, P.C., L.L.O., we understand how to help our clients get the compensation they deserve and we have a proven record of success.

Many may be held responsible for injuries at a construction site

Owners, architects, insurance companies, and manufacturers of equipment may be held responsible for inadequate safety provisions at a construction site.  General contractors and all subcontractors are required by law to—

• Provide a reasonably safe site
• Warn of hazards inherent in the site and work
• Coordinate job safety and supervise compliance with safety specifications

Unfortunately, in spite of these requirements, construction site accidents happen every day.  Efforts to cut costs and maximize profits sometimes result in situations where safety measures are ignored and speed takes precedent over safety.  Sometimes the causes of construction site accidents include defective products and negligent manufacturing.  In these cases, the claims would be against the manufacturer of the products causing the construction injury rather than the construction company.
