Construction Site Injury Claims

There can be fewer dangerous places to work than construction sites. They are a constant buzz of movement and it is imperative that health and safety within construction / building sites is promoted because of the equipment used and also the dangers faced by construction workers.

Huge Cranes lifting solid objects many feet into the air, workers balancing on scaffolding, trucks, diggers and heavy machinery always on the go. It’s a busy, busy place. That’s why when accidents happen on construction sites they can be serious and in a high number of cases : fatal.

Construction: Highest Number of Fatalities in Work Injuries

In 2007 the UK’s Health and Safety Executive published figures that showed the construction / building industry alongside Agriculture were the two main areas of employment with the highest ratio of fatalities in work related injuries. That highlights the dangers of builders within construction sites on a day-to-day basis. It is not just in the UK where construction workers are everyday working in environments that can kill but everywhere in the World. In fact the figures will be even more damaging in countries that are developing and do not have any set health and safety guides.

Personal Injury Layers understand the complexities of work related injuries including construction / building site injury claims. Builders injured in an accident feel they have been partly to blame for the injury they have received and also do not like to claim against their boss or company. It is a natural thought process especially in the construction / building trade. But the bare fact of the matter is you have a right to claim if you have suffered an injury through no fault of your own.
