An Overview of the Most Common Construction Accidents
A construction site can be a dangerous place. It is imperative that construction companies and all other entities involved in the project—from property owners to subcontractors to equipment manufacturers—take the proper safety precautions. Some of the most common construction accidents in Pennsylvania include:
- Falls from Heights: Construction site falls are extremely dangerous. Workers falling from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs is a leading cause of catastrophic injuries and fatalities.
- Struck by Falling Objects: Tools or materials falling from above can cause severe injuries to workers below.
- Electrocution: A worker making contact with exposed wires, faulty equipment, or power lines poses serious risks. An electrocution could be fatal.
- Caught-In or Between Accidents: Workers can be trapped between machinery, walls, or other heavy objects. These can cause terrible injuries.
- Equipment Accidents: Finally, the mishandling or malfunctioning of heavy machinery can result in devastating injuries.
We Handle All Types of Construction Accidents in Delaware County
Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias, & Rio is a boutique law firm committed to providing top-tier, personalized representation to construction accident victims in Delaware County. We have experience with:
- Workers’ Compensation: Workers injured in construction accidents are typically eligible for workers’ comp benefits, regardless of who was at fault. These benefits can cover medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. Workers’ comp is no-fault.
- Third-Party Liability: In some cases, a third party—a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner—may be held liable for a construction accident. Unlike workers’ comp claims and third-party liability claims, these are fault-based cases.
