The list of ways someone can get hurt in excavation, trench or digging accidents is endless. Construction workers may be pinned by heavy machinery or electrocuted by exposed wiring.
Some common injuries suffered include:
Construction site visitors such as building inspectors and third party employees are also at risk of suffering an injury should an accident occur. If you are injured due to an employee outside of your own company, you may be dealing with a third party construction accident claim.
Do you know what to do if you sustain a serious injury at a construction site in Texas or Oklahoma? What if you were not able to work for weeks or months, how would you pay for much needed medical treatment?
Heavy machinery such as cranes and forklifts are typically used at construction sites. In an instant a worker may be pinned underneath a tilted forklift or hit by a swinging crane arm. When these types of accidents happen, you deserve justice.
Heavy machinery, exposed wires and welding at construction sites can quickly lead to a dangerous fire or explosion and serious injuries.
Although most companies only have their employees working on-site, some industries require several companies to work together at one location. If another company has caused an accident and you were injured as result, they may be held responsible.
Many factors need to be considered when dealing with a construction accident including inspection reports, medical records, insurance documentation and eyewitness accounts.
