There are few more dangerous professions than the construction industry. Even when an employer ruthlessly follows all safety regulations, unexpected and dangerous accidents can take place, and construction workers can suffer terrible or fatal injuries. Explosions, electrical accidents, toxic exposure, falling tools or other items, ladder accidents, scaffolding accidents and equipment failures take place on construction sites all over the country daily, and Miami is no exception. If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury while working construction, our Miami personal injury lawyer at Klemick and Gampel, P.A. can help. You have a right to pursue workers’ compensation benefits, but this can be an extremely frustrating process, and you may not get all of the benefits you could be eligible to claim. Some cases could involve 3rd party liability, allowing our attorney to pursue further compensation beyond those benefits.
Construction Worker Accident StatisticsAccording to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), almost 6.5 million people in the United States work construction jobs at about 252,000 construction sites across the nation. Statistically, construction workers are at a higher risk of suffering fatal injuries on the job. In fact, OSHA states that the fatal injury rate for construction workers is significantly higher than the national average. Common hazards include falls, scaffolding, electric shock, repetitive motion injuries and collapsing trenches.
