Four Common Types of Construction Accidents

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a “Fatal Four” list of the most dangerous types of construction accidents. Our firm can handle all sorts of construction accident claims, but we have a focus on these four due to their severity. We can assist clients who have been seriously injured, and those who have lost a loved one in a fatal construction accident.

The OSHA “Fatal Four” of construction accidents are:

Falls from heights

Struck-by objects

Caught-in/between accidents

Electrocutions

Falls from heights

Falling from a height on a construction site is one of the most common types of construction accidents, especially on sites with several stories. Scaffolding collapses are also a form of accident that is sorted into this accident category.

Struck-by objects

Falling objects are extremely dangerous on construction sites. Hardhats can protect a worker from small falling objects, but larger tools and debris can cause fatal injuries if an unsuspecting worker below is hit.

Caught-in/between accidents

When a worker is caught inside a piece of machinery or between one object and another, it is a caught-in/between accident. Construction vehicles like tractors and bulldozers are sometimes the cause of these types of dangerous accidents.

Electrocutions

Workers who are working on electrical sources can be severely injured in an accident. Electrocution can also be suffered by workers adjacent to the electrical worker, but who were not given the opportunity to clear the area safely.

Compensation Opportunities After a Construction Accident

You might have two options to seek compensation after a construction accident:

In some cases,

you can get compensation through both avenues. For example, a worker who has workers’ compensation but was hurt by a third party on the construction site might be able to get workers’ comp while filing a claim, too. You cannot receive more damage than you are owed by using both claim types, though.
