Construction Accident Statistics at a Glance

According to data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):

  • 1,061 work-related fatalities occurred in the construction industry in 2019 alone.
  • One out of every five work-related deaths occurred in the construction industry in 2019.
  • Inadequate fall protection on construction sites was the number one most frequently-cited OSHA standard violation in 2019.

Accidents Happen to Employees & Bystanders

Construction accidents are those that occur on or near construction sites. They often cause injury or death to workers or bystanders. Due to the nature of the construction trade, employees often find themselves confronted by dangerous, life-threatening work conditions—sometimes on a daily basis. Serious accidents and injuries occur with alarming frequency at construction sites throughout the U.S.

The most common construction accidents are:​

  • Falls (due to improperly assembled scaffolding, unsafe ladders, holes in flooring, etc.)
  • Equipment accidents (involving power tools, improperly guarded machines, etc.)
  • Electrocution
  • Vehicle accidents

If you have been injured in an accident, you will have to deal with the insurance companies. The insurance companies have their own interests in mind, not yours. It is important to go to an attorney who will protect your rights.

Many times the claims adjuster of the insurance company goes to see you immediately after the accident. At that time they are looking for ammunition to damage your claim. It is important to have an attorney on your side to prevent that from happening.

Injured at Your Construction Job? We Can Help.

Workplace accidents cause thousands of on-the-job injuries every year in California. The law requires employers to provide workers’ compensation coverage to their employees.

With multiple offices throughout California, we have more than 30 years of experience in representing victims of construction accidents.
