Construction Injuries

Workers in the construction industry work under very dangerous conditions day in and day out. As a result, safety is a prime concern for Workers in the building trades. Workers Compensation Laws have been enacted, both at the state and federal level, and safety regulations are in place to try to prevent the serious injuries that happen in the workplace daily. But due to the nature of the work, accidents still happen, and some of them are catastrophic.

If you have been injured while working a construction job, you may be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits. The dependable, aggressive Workers comp attorneys at White & Stradley, LLP can help you the same way they’ve helped thousands of other hard-working North Carolina Workers and their families.

Common Construction Injuries

Whether you are a construction Worker on a small project or working for a major commercial development, on a daily basis, you must deal with some of the most dangerous working conditions faced by people in any industry in the United States. Because of the heavy equipment involved and the dangerous nature of the work, serious injuries (even deaths) occur with unfortunate frequency. Though there are many laws and regulations in place to protect our nation’s hard-working construction Workers, these laws don’t prevent all accidents from happening. Some of the most common construction injuries and accidents:

• Falls from scaffolds
• Being hit by moving machinery
• Electrocution
• Exposure to toxic materials
• Injuries caused by defective equipment
• Injuries due to lifting and repetitive motion

Responsible Parties

The type of system in place at a construction site where an injury occurs will be an important consideration in assessing the potential liability of the various individuals involved in the project, especially as to the site owner's liability. Larger construction projects typically involve a great deal of delegation of both work and legal responsibility: from site owner to general contractor; general contractor to "prime" or "sub"-contractor; and in some cases, "prime" contractor to "sub"-contractor. Speaking generally, in assessing liability for injuries at a construction site, the main determinations are the extent of a potential party's control over the premises on which the work is being done, and the degree of their control over the work itself. And to determine who may be liable for your injuries, it will help to a take a very close look at the responsibilities of all individuals involved in the construction project where you were injured.
