Santa Rosa Construction Accident Lawyer
Construction is by nature a risky occupation. Whether it is highway construction or construction of a home, apartment complex, hospital, commercial building or parking ramp, there are many opportunities for accidental injuries to occur. New construction carries with it all the dangers inherent in construction. Projects involving retrofitting of older buildings can involve even greater hazards, because of unknowns underneath walls and floors.
Causes of construction accidents may include the following:
- Construction workers lack safety training or equipment (such as protective goggles, hard hats, or belts for roofers)
- Construction equipment is used improperly
- Dump trucks roll over when used on piles of dirt that are not solid and secure enough to handle the weight
- Equipment such as the following fails or malfunctions: ladders, scaffolds, handrails, floor coverings over holes, power tools and safety nets
- Unusual conditions such as heavy winds cause cranes and scaffolds to destabilize
- Human error leads to accidents such as falls and impalement accidents
- Objects that come loose from bucket trucks or other transporting devices fall and injure workers or passersby
