The Fatal Four of Construction Accidents

The construction industry has some of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Fatalities are so common in the construction industry that the top 4 causes of construction fatalities have a name: the Fatal Four.

These four causes of death are:

• Falls
• Being struck by objects
• Electrocution
• Being caught between objects

They all have one thing in common: they're completely preventable.

By holding contractors and construction firms accountable through an injury claim or wrongful death suit, we can help you rebuild the future your accident took away.

Most Common Injuries on Construction Sites

Construction sites contain hazards on every corner, from heavy machinery to steep falls. Most injuries suffered by on-site workers are often catastrophic in nature or even fatal.

The most common type of injuries in construction accidents include:

• Burns / electrocutions: Construction sites often contain toxic chemicals, torches, electric cables, and other substances that can cause explosions or serious burns in workers.
• Spinal cord injuries: Accidents such as falls or lifting heavy objects can cause damage to the nerves and vertebrae, and can even lead to paralysis in victims.
• Brain injuries: Head trauma caused by falls or impact with heavy objects can cause concussions or traumatic brain injuries that require months or even years to recover. Long-term TBI can also affect one's memory, motor functions, and ability to control one's emotions.
• Broken bones: Falls, motor vehicle crashes, and being stuck by heavy objects can leave individuals with crushed bones that may require extensive surgery, treatment, and rehabilitation.
• Loss of limbs: Workers often have to deal with heavy-duty and sharp machinery that can cause serious injuries to limbs, which may require amputation.
