About Construction Accidents in Los Angeles

Los Angeles Construction Accident Lawyer

A construction accident may occur in the blink of an eye, leading to serious injury or the death of a construction worker, visitor to the site, or passerby. According to national occupational injury statistics presented by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers in construction suffered the most fatalities of any industry in the private sector in 2008, with a total of 969 fatalities. This includes incidents occurring in residential construction as well as heavy and civil engineering construction and special trade contractors. 32% of these fatalities involved falls, and 12% involved a victim being struck by a falling object.

The construction industry as a whole places workers and visitors to active and inactive construction sites at risk of injury due to heavy equipment or machinery, scaffolding, exposed electrical wires, and other conditions that are naturally hazardous. If you add negligent implementation of safety regulations or improper training of construction workers into the mix, you have a situation where a construction accident is more likely to occur.
