Common Causes of Construction Accidents 

There are many hazards on construction sites that can potentially cause harm.  Safety laws are designed to help ensure safety on construction sites and prevent injuries. However, property owners, as well as general contractors, sometimes do not pay to adhere to safety protocols and thus put their workers at risk of being injured. 

Some of the most common causes of accidents on construction sites include: 

  • Improper use of equipment and machinery 
  • Inadequate provision of safety equipment 
  • Inadequate training 
  • The hiring of inexperienced or untrained workers 
  • Use of defective equipment 
  • Violations of health and safety standards

Whatever the cause of your accident, it is important to seek compensation for your injuries and ensure that you have a financial cushion to land on. Contact the Epstein Law Firm, P.A. to consult with an experienced attorney.
