Types Of Injuries From A Construction Site Accident

Common types of injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) from falling objects or head impact
• Spinal cord damage from falls or being struck

• Broken bones from equipment mishandling or high-impact accidents
• Crush injuries from machinery or collapsing structures
• Burns caused by electrical mishaps or chemical exposure
• Deep cuts or lacerations from sharp tools or materials
• Hearing loss from prolonged exposure to loud equipment
• Internal injuries from being hit or compressed by heavy materials

Due to the nature of construction work, many construction-related injuries can be life-altering and may require long-term care or time away from work.

Common Causes Of Unsafe Construction Site Accidents

Construction accidents are particularly complex because oftentimes, they are caused by a combination of safety rules violations by a number of subcontractors and superintendents. Construction sites are filled with heavy machinery, elevated structures and fast-paced activity. These factors make them extremely hazardous when safety protocols are ignored.

Our Dallas construction accidents law firm has the resources to get to the bottom of what happened and to hold those responsible accountable for the harm they caused. Many construction accidents stem from common causes such as:.

• Falls: On a construction site, falls may occur due to the instability of equipment and safety procedures being overlooked, especially when working from ladders, scaffolding or rooftops.
• Struck-by incidents: Workers can be seriously injured when struck by falling tools, materials or moving equipment due to poor site organization or lack of protective gear.
• Electrocution: Live wires, unfinished electrical systems or improper use of power tools can create electrocution risks on the job site.
• Caught-in or between hazards: Heavy machinery or collapsing trenches can trap workers, often due to a lack of proper guards or failure to follow safety standards.
• Slip and trip hazards: Uneven surfaces, debris or unmarked hazards can cause slips or trips that result in serious injuries.
• Inadequate training: When workers are not properly trained on safety procedures or how to handle equipment, the risk of preventable accidents significantly increases.
• Faulty equipment: Using defective or poorly maintained machinery can lead to dangerous malfunctions and worker injuries.
• Lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Workers who are not equipped with the proper gear, like helmets, gloves or harnesses, are more exposed to injury.

Injuries can range in severity, from traumatic brain injuries, burns, broken bones, internal organ damage and spinal cord injuries. Any injury can require expensive medical treatment and long rehabilitation periods that keep you out of work. Our Dallas construction accident lawyers can help you fight for compensation for those medical bills, lost wages, lost future income, pain and suffering and mental anguish.
