Construction Accident Lawyers

Claiming Compensation for Construction Accidents

While workplace accidents can happen anywhere, such as warehouses and factories, working on construction sites can be one of the most dangerous places to work. There are dangers and hazards present everywhere, so it is essential that employers and contractors ensure that the workplace is as safe as possible to minimise these dangers. Employers are legally responsible to protect their employees, however sometimes that protection is missing or flawed and they could be operating with unsafe work practices.

• Holes in the ground
• Heavy machinery and machinery operation accidents
• Lifting of large or heavy objects
• The presence of hazardous substances and toxic exposure
• Building collapses
• Trip and fall hazards
• Falls into trenches and shafts

• Demolition, explosions and fire
• Electrical hazards, resulting in electrocution
• Lifting of equipment and materials
• Welding accidents

There can also be dangers from unsafe equipment, as all equipment is required to be maintained and training should be provided in correct operation, along with notifying employees if there are potential risks from operating the equipment.

If you have become injured or ill due to an incident on a construction site, you could be entitled to making a workers’ compensation claim. This could provide you with financial assistance for any medical bills, loss of wages and to cover damages for suffering and psychological stress.
