Georgia Construction Accident Attorneys

 

Construction industry has one of the highest rates of occupational injury and death. Construction workers perform one of the most dangerous occupations in the country. There are safety laws for construction workers but they are often at great risk for serious injury. Many workers are injured and even killed in construction accidents every year.

Major construction accidents include injuries sustained by falling from scaffolding structures, platforms, roofs and ladders. The major reason for such accidents is the lack of proper preventative safety equipment like nets, safety barriers, guardrails, safety harnesses and belts. Other common construction accidents involve workers or bystanders being run over or hit by operating equipment, heavy equipment or being struck by falling or flying objects.

 

Electrical hazards, like overhead power lines also cause fatalities which can be avoided by appropriate safety procedures. Cave-ins involving trenches and tunnels are another far too common occurrence that is preventable by proper use of trench box supports and other safety measures. Welding accidents, fires and explosions can be completely avoided with the use of effective safety measures. Other types of construction site injuries include floor collapses, or fall-through accidents, as well as crane accidents.

•            Head injuries
