Construction Equipment Accidents
Because of the very nature of the work, construction workers face a higher risk of accidents and injury than the normal industrial employee. The personal protective equipment worn to reduce falls, and exposures can in turn increase accident potential by: reducing dexterity, narrowing the field of vision and clarity and reducing communication. Factors usually contributing to construction accidents may include unsafe ladders, holes in flooring, improperly assembled scaffolding, and construction debris. Construction companies need to inspect each job site and provide safety programs; however despite these measures accidents still occur. Industrial and construction accidents may result in severe personal injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, quadriplegia, paraplegia, fractured necks, back, bones and death.
Unfortunately, Massachusetts workers' compensation laws severely limit recovery for a construction site accident. State laws that preclude an employee from suing an employer also generally limit the employee to a workers' compensation system which, depending on the state, may not provide compensation for pain and suffering. Many of these laws may place specific limits on how long an injured worker may collect benefits. Such limits may be true even if the worker is injured indefinitely. However, sometimes injuries are as a result of the negligence of a third party it is important to have an experienced attorney review any potential construction case resulting in a serious injury.
