Wrongful Death in Construction Accidents
Construction workers are subject to a large number of dangers that are not part of the daily employment routine of most people. There are many different tools, materials, and unique features of a construction site that make it especially hazardous to employee safety. To minimize the risk of injury or death, there are safety precautions and equipment that should be called for as part of a construction company’s policy. Yet serious occupational injuries and fatalities are unfortunately commonplace due to lax enforcement and the negligence of one or more parties.
There are many issues to resolve after the unexpected passing of a loved one, and some of those are likely to involve substantial costs. Filing a lawsuit for a wrongful death claim can be emotionally difficult, but it may be the best way to protect your family going forward.

Deadly Dangers
Given the diverse nature of the threats to worker safety on a construction site, it would seem impossible to prevent accidents altogether. Yet that does not excuse a construction company, heavy machinery manufacturer, or negligent co-worker from liability for the death of a construction worker. Potentially fatal dangers include:
- Falls from Elevation
- Electrocution
- Internal Injuries from Falling Objects
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Blood Loss or Infection from Amputations
