Construction Site Accidents

Like most American workers, construction industry employees are legally entitled to a workplace free of hazards and foreseeable accidents under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Unfortunately, workplace injury in construction still runs higher than the national average. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that in 2004, construction had the second highest number of workplace fatalities in the country and accounted for an above-average number of days lost to illness or injury. Employers are barred from covering up workplace hazards or retaliating against an employee who reports such a hazard. While the law does not allow workers to sue their employers while they collect workers' compensation benefits, injured construction employees are more likely to have a case because construction work typically involves multiple contractors.
