Los Angeles Construction Accidents Lawyer

Hazards found at construction sites have caused accidents for decades. Thousands of hard-working men and women have been injured or killed in construction accidents, even with the evolution and improvement in safety regulations designed to help protect these employees and contractors. 

 

What Dangers Are Found at Construction Worksites?

Construction workers are subject to many on-the-job hazards. OSHA safety regulations have helped reduce accidents, but with the very nature of the industry, materials and tools needed, workers are still apt to become injured on the job. An on-the-job construction accident can cause the injured worker extreme financial stress from medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering and the possibility of death. Many of the following injuries are potential dangers to construction workers:

 

• Electrocution or electrical burns

• Chemical burns

• Thermal burns

• Motor vehicle burns

• Burns from hot liquids

• Explosions

• Falls

• Heavy equipment failure or defect injuries

 

What Costs Are Associated with Construction Accidents?

Personal injury attorneys at Mann & Elias have won millions of dollars compensation for injured workers. They have seen how high expenses can rise when a worker is injured in a construction accident. Medical costs are just the beginning; other financial problems happen quickly:

 

• Hospital and doctor bills

• Loss of income

• Possible paralysis or death of the worker

• Dental or cosmetic surgery bills

• Physical therapy

• Special equipment

• Rehabilitation services and treatment

• Long-term or private nursing care

• Personal financial stresses – inability to pay bills may lead to bankruptcy
