    Common Types of Construction Site Accidents

    According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the four most common types of construction accidents, known within the industry as the “fatal four,” are:

    • Falls
    • Being hit by an object
    • Electrocutions
    • Being caught in between objects, equipment, materials, or collapsing structures

    These and other construction site accidents often result in catastrophic injuries and deaths. In fact, Engineering News-Record reports that the death rate of workers in the construction industry is about 9.5 for every 100,000 full-time workers, making it one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. Recent data also show that, in 2018, construction worker deaths rose by about 4%.

    What leads to this high rate of accidents, injuries, and fatalities? One common causes is safety violations. OSHA has set forth a list of safety standards for the construction industry and, when contractors or workers fail to abide by these standards, it leads to devastating accidents and deaths.

    The Top 10 Most Cited OSHA Violations

    OSHA reports that its top 10 most cited standard violations for the 2018 fiscal year included:

    • Inadequate fall protection
    • Scaffolding safety
    • Adequate control of harmful energy (lockout/tagout violations)
    • Improper use/maintenance of powered industrial trucks
    • Machinery/machine guarding safety
    • Communication of hazards
    • Proper respiratory protection for workers
    • Ladder safety
    • Inadequate training on fall prevention/protection
    • Improper face and eye protection

    All of these represent preventable acts that can—and frequently do—lead to catastrophic accidents. If you or someone you love was injured as a result of OHSA standards violations or general negligence on a construction site or job site, reach out to the Law Offices of C. Ray Carlson right away.

    What to Expect During the Initial Consultation

    During your free consultation, you will have the chance to discuss your case and help your lawyer fully understand what happened, what injuries you suffered, and how your life has been impacted. This important conversation will determine whether or not your attorney believes that they can represent you in the way that you deserve. You will have a chance to ask questions and we will ask you questions, too, about your accident, injuries, and finances.

    Our construction accident attorneys can answer any questions you have about the process or what compensation you can expect for your injuries. We offer contingency fees, so you do not owe anything upfront and pay zero out-of-pocket expenses. Instead, our attorneys only get paid if you do.
