Key Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction sites can be dangerous environments, and accidents can happen due to a variety of factors. It is important to understand the common causes of construction accidents to better protect yourself and your rights in case of an incident. At Edwards & Culver, our experienced construction accident lawyers have handled numerous cases involving different types of accidents. Here are some of the common causes of construction accidents:
- Unsafe working conditions: Construction sites can be hazardous if proper safety measures are not in place. This can include inadequate training, lack of protective equipment, or failure to follow safety protocols.
- Falls from heights: Working at elevated heights is a common part of construction work, and falls from ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops can result in serious injuries or even fatalities.
- Electrocutions: Construction sites often involve the use of electrical equipment and wiring, and contact with live wires or faulty electrical systems can lead to severe electrical shocks or burns.
- Struck by objects: Falling objects, swinging equipment, or flying debris can cause serious injuries if proper precautions are not taken to secure materials and equipment.
- Machinery accidents: Operating heavy machinery and equipment can be dangerous if not done correctly. Accidents involving cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, or other machinery can result in severe injuries or even death.
