Construction sites also present numerous hazards that require safety precautions. A good example of a construction accident caused by the failure to use safe practices is a case which involved what should have been an inconsequential fall.

A construction worker on a high rise building slipped and fell from one floor to the next and would have sustained no more than superficial bruises.  However, the employees of another subcontractor had left exposed steel rebar standing erect on the floor below. Furthermore, neither the subcontractor nor the general contractor had required safety end caps to be placed on the exposed rebar. Rather than receiving superficial bruises the worker that fell from the floor above was impaled on the rebar and died.

My law firm has successfully handled a large number of construction and warehouse accident cases involving falls, collapses, forklifts, heavy equipment, electrocutions, and falling objects. When safety takes a back seat to production on a construction site workers get injured.
