Causes of Construction Accidents

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), three of the top 10 worksite safety violations occur on construction sites. Some of the leading causes of construction accidents include:

Hiring unqualified workers: although construction work is categorized as manual labor, it requires specialized skill. If the employer hires unqualified staff, they inevitably put their lives and the lives of their colleagues in danger.
Insufficient training: workers must receive training to keep up with the changing trends of the industry and use equipment efficiently. Training also helps workers to follow standard safety procedures promptly in the face of a disaster.
Slip and fall accidents: lack of organization, uneven stairs, ill-placed items, and slippery floors are just a few of the dangerous conditions that can cause a worker to sustain injuries on a construction site.
Falling objects: construction workers are no strangers to getting hit by a falling object. It may be a box of tools or even concrete. In the case of the latter, the worker can suffer severe injuries and in many cases, suffer a disability.
Falls from elevations: OSHA cited falls from elevations as one of the most common safety violations on construction sites. A few reasons why this happens include lack of safety equipment, unsecured ladders, and defective equipment.

Other causes of construction accidents include collapsed structures, welding accidents, electrical accidents, crane accidents, lack of supervision and safety precautions, harness accidents, fires and explosions, scaffolding accidents, exposure to toxic substances, and misuse of tools.

Types of Construction Accident Lawsuits and Claims

Once you seek legal counsel, your lawyer will help you weigh your legal options and recommend the right claim that makes sense for your case. Below, you will find the claims available for a construction accident lawsuit.

Workers’ compensation: these benefits only apply to legal claims between a direct employer and their employee. Even if the injured employee sustained the injuries due to their carelessness or negligence, they may still be eligible for workers’ compensation through the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). While the benefits are not always adequate, the employee receives a weekly payout based on their weekly earnings and the severity of their disability.
Personal injury: for this lawsuit to be effective, your lawyer must establish the involvement of a third party, prove that they were negligent, and connect their negligence to your injuries. Such third-party groups may include the groups, persons, or companies that did not directly hire the worker but negligently caused their injuries.
Product liability lawsuits: it may also be a product liability claim if a defective or dangerous piece of equipment caused your injuries. In this case, your lawyer may hold the manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, and several others in the chain of distribution liable.
Wrongful death. If the worker is killed on the construction site or dies from their injuries, their family can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the liable party.

It is possible to file multiple claims simultaneously if your case meets the requirement. The Beaumont construction accident lawyer you hire from Loncar Lyon Jenkins will break down the complexities of each claim and help you make the right decision.

I fell at Macy’s at Northpark Mall 2 years ago. Macy’s said they were not responsible for the accident. It was the construction company did not have a sign up. So basically I had given up on it. Then out of the blue Chad with Loncar called me and told me I was getting a check for $10,114. I was shocked. I know that he had to work for a good while to get this amount for me. He did a great job and he does not know how much I appreciate his help and all the work he had to do to get this to happen. Thank you Chad, you are the best.
