Construction Accident and Injury Facts from a Cleveland Lawyer

Oct 29, 2013 |

Construction workers continue to have one of the country’s most dangerous occupations. If you work on a construction site, you’re probably aware of the occupational hazards and frequency that people are hurt on the job, whether it is from a fall, overexertion or being struck by objects on the site.

Some common construction accidents in Ohio, where Bentoff & Duber is located, include:

  • Crane accidents
  • Electrical injuries and burns
  • Equipment mishaps
  • Falling and tripping
  • Falling objects
  • Forklift accidents

By following the proper safety procedures, many construction injuries can be avoided. Contractors, developers and other employees are responsible for keeping job sites safe for construction workers. If employers are not following safety procedures, ensuring that equipment is in working order and enforcing that workers wear protective gear, injuries can happen. When there is an injury, you need representation.
