Construction Accidents

The construction industry is by far one of the largest commercial industries in the United States and consistently ranks as one of the worst when it comes to annual workplace accidents and fatalities. Whether it be commercial, residential, or highway construction, there are an infinite number of ways that workers can injure themselves each and every day.

Construction accidents can include falls from high levels, operational equipment failure, electric shock, scaffolding/ladder collapse, motor vehicle accidents, fires or explosions, and careless placement of equipment or other debris, among other things. It is up to the construction company to make sure the site is properly and thoroughly inspected and is a safe working environment for all those employed there. If you have been injured as the result of an unfortunate construction site accident, whether it be accidental or not, you may be entitled to monetary compensation from your employer or other party at fault for your medical bills and other financial losses.

At the law offices of Brent Adams & Associates, our one and only priority is to fight for you. Our North Carolina Construction Accident Lawyers will stop at nothing to ensure that you are treated fairly, and get the monetary compensation that you deserve.

The Facts

Although personal injury and individual fatality rates in most commercial industries have declined significantly in the past 23 years since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established and enacted a much stricter set of workplace safety guidelines and regulations, this simply has not been the case in the construction industry.

Construction site workers are at a much greater risk of personal injury do to the immense number of hazards and potential accidents that could potentially happen any day at a large site with a substantial amount of equipment and other workers all moving in different directions. The construction industry has more workplace fatalities per year that any other related commercial industry. According to the most recent annual Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the lost-workday case rate for the construction industry was 5.7 per l00 full-time workers, by far the highest of any other major economic or commercial sector.

Construction site accidents can often become fairly complicated since you are dealing with both the construction company, the companies' insurance company, as well as any other employees that may have been involved in the accident in question.
