Have You Been Injured at the Construction Site?
Construction workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions of any occupation. Property owners and general contractors are responsible for making their construction sites safe for workers. Violations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules and failure to perform safety inspections can lead to serious personal injuries and even wrongful death.
Common causes of construction site injuries include:
- Scaffolding collapses
- Defective equipment
- Falls from heights
- Trench collapses
- Electrical accidents
- Gas explosions
Our Pittsburgh construction site accident attorneys will work to help you pursue all avenues of compensation for your construction site injury. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
