Construction Accidents

Building and highway construction work carries a higher incidence of risk than many other professions. Due to the nature of the work, workers and individuals are exposed to several risk factors, including working from scaffolding, exposure to frequently moving heavy machinery and building parts, flammable chemicals and potentially hazardous building materials. Highway construction sites can contain dangerous areas that are poorly or improperly marked or other hazards that have not been recognized by the construction crew and pose a hazard to drivers or other individuals passing through the construction area. Careless or negligent behavior in such an environment can have disastrous consequences for workers or other individuals.
