Working in construction offers many advantages and benefits, but safety on the job is not one of them. The work environment that is present on construction sites is notoriously dangerous. Workers are constantly at risk for injury from equipment, unstable and hazard-strewn surroundings, from poorly trained coworkers, and more.
Construction site workers who are injured on the job are entitled to receive workers’ compensation. However, employers and their insurance company often stand in the way, rejecting claims and putting those whose injuries keep them from working in financial jeopardy. We can help.

Construction Site Accidents
No matter what your job title, whether you are a union member or not, workers’ compensation is there to provide you with a safety net. It was specifically created to cover injured workers’ lost wages, medical expenses, compensation for specific disfiguring injuries, and more, without the complexities of having to file a personal injury lawsuit.
There are as many different types of construction sites as there are structures. One thing that all of them have in common is that injuries can easily happen. Here are some of the most common accidents that occur:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Heavy equipment accidents
- Traffic accidents
- Lifting injuries
- Scaffolding accidents
- Ladder accidents
- Falls from heights
- Injuries from being struck by falling objects
