What are common construction injuries?

Construction by definition is known as the building of typically large structures that involve machinery and heights to some extent. The risk of injury is quite significant.

Understanding Construction Injuries 

As we are aware, every injury or accident varies in causes and outcomes. Some tend to show the signs right away, and others tend not to appear so clearly. We will look at all the evidence to ensure we understand exactly how your injury occurred. We are well versed in dealing with Construction workers in New York, so you can rely on us to help you. Here are a few of the most common types of constructions injuries:

• Falls from scaffolding or unstable roof
• Burns, Cuts, Bruises
• Bone Breaks
• Joint Dislocations
• Concussions
• Puncture wounds
• Tendon Injuries

Determining fault is pivotal with these cases, so it is important that you are transparent during your consultation about how your injury happened. For example, if your injury occurred because you were unsure of how to properly use the equipment, then your employer would be at fault for not providing you with the knowledge you needed. However, if you told your employer that you knew how to properly use the equipment and you are then injured, the fault would not be on your employer. Construction site injuries can happen for a variety of reasons we have listed some of the common ways here:

• Equipment Injuries
  • Lack of proper education
  • Faulty Equipment
• Unsafe Work Conditions
  • Lack of proper equipment
  • Extreme temperatures
  • Not following proper safety codes

We know the stress of expensive medical bills weighing you down, especially if it is keeping you from receiving proper care.
