Construction Site Injury

Anywhere you go in Southern California, you’ll see construction. Developers bring in contractors and workers to build new structures or rehab older structures. Many developers and contractors make good-faith efforts to create a safer working environment and provide the tools, training, and personal protective equipment (PPE) that construction workers need to avoid injury on the job. 

But sometimes, injuries still happen. And with heavy equipment, dangerous working conditions, and demanding physical labor, on-the-job injuries can be catastrophic and life-changing. In addition, some developers and contractors are not following the rules. They are creating dangerous work environments for workers by failing to provide training and PPE.

Key Construction Injury Statistics

The Most Common Construction Site Injuries

On a construction site, workers perform physical labor surrounded by heavy machinery and with many different materials. They may be working with potentially toxic materials or working at great heights. The most common workplace injuries for construction workers include:

  • Falls
  • Collapsed trenches or holes
  • Struck by heavy machinery
  • Severe injury due to forklift accidents
  • Electrocution
  • Burns
  • Catastrophic injury or death due to crane accidents
  • Injury due to poor training or a lack of PPE
  • Head and bodily injury due to falling debris or objects
  • Disease or chronic illness due to exposure to hazardous or toxic materials

When Worker’s Compensation Isn’t Enough

If you suffer an injury on the job site or develop an occupational disease, you can file for worker’s compensation. But there can be limitations to worker’s compensation that many workers do not understand. In addition, too many injured workers don’t receive the full compensation they are entitled to because they don’t understand their options.
