Industrial or Construction Accidents
Industrial or Construction Accidents Can Result in Severe Injuries
Men and women employed at industrial or construction sites often work from dangerous heights with heavy machinery. The workers risk injury in Philadelphia industrial or construction accidents. For example, a fall from scaffolding can result in severe, life-altering injuries.
Citizens walking near a construction site can get hurt. Severe injuries or in extreme cases death can result at industrial and construction sites, spurring a potential wrongful death lawsuit. We usually hope and trust that industrial and construction sites are operated safely and in accordance with all applicable laws and safety standards.
Sadly, accidents happen. Sometimes, safety standards and regulations are overlooked, or violated, and the results can be catastrophic. Examples of industrial and construction accidents include explosions and chemical burns. Injuries that result from another party's negligence may result in an industrial or construction accident lawsuit.
Our Firm Will Look into Third Party Liability in Your Industrial or Construction Accident
The rate of work-related injury for many construction workers is higher than the national average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even if you are covered by workers' compensation, the circumstances of an industrial or construction accident may give rise to a claim against a third party (an entity other than your employer). That may include a general contractor, construction manager, or site foreman. At Flager & Yockey, P.C., we will thoroughly investigate the liability for your injury and evaluate the potential sources of additional compensation.
Here are some examples of common industrial or construction accidents:
- Scaffolding collapse
- Falls from ladders
- Crane accidents
- Fires
- Explosions and burns
- OSHA violations
- Holes in floors
- Machinery and equipment defects
Workers injured at construction sites may suffer from injuries requiring surgery, amputation, or causing blindness.
