Construction Workers Are in a High-Risk Industry. Fight for Your Family After a Construction Accident in Mexico, MO With Help From Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer
Construction sites are dangerous. Heavy machinery, precarious project locations, power tools, and employee or employer negligence are always a concern for Mexico, MO construction workers. While you or your loved one can do their best to be as safe as possible, construction accident injuries and deaths are often caused by a coworker, faulty machinery, or jobsite negligence. For example, if a construction site supervisor fails to follow safety guidelines and an employee is injured, the site supervisor can be held liable for the injury. When an employee does not completely turn off heavy machinery and another employee is killed when the machine suddenly powers up, the negligent employee can be held responsible.
Not only are construction accidents common, but they can also be gruesome and incredibly painful. According to
OSHA’s 2019 report, the four leading causes of construction accident deaths are falls, being struck by an object, electrocution, and being caught between objects. These accidents include falls from scaffolding or roofs, being hit by a work or pedestrian vehicle or falling debris, and being trapped between machinery or construction materials. Roofers are at an especially
high risk of injury or death
due to the dangerous nature of their work. Fall deaths account for
36.4%
of all construction deaths.
