Injuries Sustained in Construction Accidents

Nassau County Personal Injury Lawyer

Working on a construction site always brings some presumable risk. There are many different ways that individuals can be injured while on an unfinished building or facility. Injuries sustained during construction work can include the following:

• Broken bones
• Bruises
• Amputation injuries
• Punctures
• Burn injuries
• Traumatic brain injury

These types of injuries can even lead to wrongful death in extreme cases. While there are many different safety laws, regulations and ordinances put in place by the company, there are still thousands of accidents that occur every year. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) reports that the most common cause of death for construction workers is dangerous falls. In 2010 over 4,600 workers died while on the job, and 700 of these were construction workers who suffered fatal injuries from a fall.
