The Dangers of Construction Site Accidents

Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces, with workers and visitors facing serious injury risks daily. Employers, contractors, and property owners must follow safety regulations to prevent accidents. When they fail, injured workers deserve legal protection and compensation.

  • Electrocution: Exposed wiring, faulty equipment, and inadequate safety protocols.
  • Machinery Accidents: Malfunctioning or improperly used heavy machinery.
  • Falling Objects: Debris or tools striking workers or bystanders.
  • Trench and Structural Collapses: Poor site planning leading to life-threatening cave-ins.
