Look at any list of extremely dangerous jobs in the U.S., and you’ll likely find “construction worker” included somewhere. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of all workplace deaths take place within the construction industry. Construction workers are also involved in roughly 150,000 accidents on job sites each year.
Do you have a first-hand understanding of just how dangerous working in construction can be? If you’ve ever sustained injuries on a job site, hiring a construction accident lawyer could set you on the path to a full recovery. RP Legal Group can assist you in locating a personal injury lawyer who will work on filing a lawsuit in connection to your case. They can help you seek financial compensation to cover the medical bills and other costs stemming from your accident.
What Are the Common Types of Construction Accident Injuries?
One of the reasons life as a construction worker is so dangerous is that you might sustain any number of potential injuries on a job site. For example, you could suffer a head injury if something falls or you yourself fall while working high up off the ground.
Head injuries aren’t the only potential injuries on a job site, either. Other common types of construction accident injuries include the following:
- Slips and falls that lead to deep lacerations, broken bones, and muscle strains and sprains
- Fires and chemical spills that cause burns and skin and lung irritation
- Structural collapses leading to fractured bones, back injuries, and more
Minor cuts and bruises are unavoidable on many construction sites and don’t warrant a lawsuit. But if you sustain a more serious injury that requires extensive medical care, you may want to seek the services of a construction accident lawyer. Let RP Legal Group guide you in the right direction as you look for a lawyer to represent you.
Contact our team today so we can fight to help you get the compensation you deserve.
When Should I Consider Calling a Construction Accident Attorney for Assistance?
