Construction Accident Attorney for Falls and Chemical Exposure

Construction accidents can cause serious and life-threatening injuries. Every year in the United States, thousands of workers are injured on the job, and many of these injuries are fatal.

Some of the most common causes of construction accidents include falling from a height, electrocution, explosions, burns, and traumatic injuries caused by heavy equipment.

These construction site accidents can have a devastating impact on an injured worker’s life, causing you to miss work, lose income, and struggle with medical bills and rehabilitation costs. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you must contact a personal injury lawyer immediately for a free consultation. The construction accident attorneys at Maschka, Riedy, Ries, & Frentz can help you get the full compensation you deserve.

Causes of Accidents on Construction Sites

Many construction workers are injured or killed each year after falling from a height. This can happen when workers are working on scaffolding, ladders, or roofs, or when they are repairing or demolishing buildings.

Electrical accidents are a leading cause of death in the construction industry. Workers can be electrocuted when they come into contact with electrical wiring, power lines, or equipment. Electrocutions can occur when workers are using tools such as saws, drills, and hammers that are powered by electricity. They can also occur when workers use extension cords, ladders, or other equipment near power lines.

Construction workers can be seriously injured or killed when hit or crushed by heavy equipment. This often happens when workers are loading or unloading equipment, repairing it, or moving it around the worksite.

Burns are a common type of catastrophic injury sustained on a job site. They can be caused by contact with flammable materials, such as gasoline or ether, or by contact with hot surfaces, such as a stove or an iron. Burns can also be caused by exposure to radiation.

The severity of a burn depends on its depth and the amount of tissue that is affected. A first-degree burn is the least serious and affects the outer layer of the skin. A second-degree burn affects both the outer and the inner layers of skin. A third-degree burn is the most serious and destroys all the layers of skin.
Burns can cause intense pain, swelling, blisters, and skin loss. They can also lead to infection and scarring. In some cases, burns can cause serious health problems, such as respiratory problems, heart problems, or organ damage.

Many construction workers are killed or injured each year when they are trapped or crushed by objects or equipment. Often, these construction accident injuries can be very severe, leading to amputations, spinal cord injuries, and even death.

    Common Types of Injuries

    Construction workers are susceptible to a variety of injuries, both serious and minor, while on the job. Some of the more common injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, broken bones, amputations, and burns.

    Any of these injuries can cause pain, suffering, and long-term disability. They can also result in costly medical expenses and lost wages. If you have been injured in a construction accident, it is important to seek legal assistance to protect your rights.
    Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can be one of the most serious injuries a person can suffer in a construction accident. They can cause permanent damage, leading to a loss of function or even death.
    Spinal cord injuries can also be very serious, leading to paralysis or other permanent mobility issues. Neck injuries can cause long-term pain and stiffness, and back injuries can lead to chronic pain and difficulty performing everyday tasks.
    Broken bones can take a long time to heal, often causing significant pain and disability. Amputations can leave a person with a lifelong disability, and eye and ear injuries can cause long-term vision and hearing loss.
    Burns can be very painful and can require extensive medical treatment. Scarring can also be a lasting reminder of a traumatic construction accident.
