Types of Construction Accident Injuries

Potential injuries caused by construction site accidents:

  • Loss of limbs
  • Head injury
  • Fractures
  • Amputation
  • Scarring
  • Paralysis
  • Wrongful death

In most cases, an injured employee cannot bring a lawsuit against their employer because, under the law, they are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, in cases where a construction site accident is due to a third party’s negligence or defective product, there may be grounds for a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

If you have been injured in a construction accident, let our Michigan construction accident attorneys help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Call today for a complimentary consultation.

Common Causes of Construction Site Accidents?

Geoffrey Fieger and his team have fought for and won monetary compensation for many laborers injured in construction site accidents. Our experienced Michigan team understands the reach and limitations of workers’ compensation laws, and they’ll put this experience to work for you.

Common causes of construction site accidents include:

  • Poor or inadequate training
  • Fires and explosions
  • Crane and hoist accidents
  • Superintendent negligence
  • Third-party negligence
  • Collapsed structures
  • Improper use or maintenance of equipment
  • Mechanical hazards
  • Nail gun accidents
  • Safety code violations
  • OSHA violations
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals
  • Slips and falls
  • Defective equipment
  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Electrical shocks
  • Welding accidents
  • Falling objects

Under state and federal laws and regulations, contractors and site owners must provide a reasonably safe work environment. When these requirements are not met, it’s negligence—and it’s wrong.
