When construction accidents occur, they are often caused by the negligence of those responsible for the safety of the site, including contractors, site supervisors, and property owners. Construction companies need to do their job by having sites checked by safety inspectors for potentially hazardous materials, surfaces, and equipment. Sadly, inspectors may overlook some issues and allow construction to take place on a site that is hazardous to a worker’s safety as well as the safety of the bystanders. Thus, many companies put their workers and innocent bystanders in danger and the result can be serious injury or even death.
Construction site accidents often result in debilitating and life changing head and brain injury or spinal cord damage. These serious injuries may require years of therapy and medical treatment and cause permanent disabilities that prevent the victims from returning to work.
