Construction accidents occur more often than most people realize. Individuals who work in the construction industry are often faced with dangerous conditions and the threat of incurring injuries is very real for those workers every day.
That said, when an individual is hurt in a Florida construction accident, it is important for him or her to work with a knowledgeable attorney who has experience in handling such cases. The liability issues can be quite complex and an attorney can help ensure that an accident victim obtains the just compensation to which he or she may be entitled.
There are a wide variety of reasons for construction accidents. Individuals working in such industries should note that Florida and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have certain requirements for industry employers, particularly with respect to obtaining certain permits, performing routine inspections and implementing safety programs related to the job.
Some of the primary reasons for construction accidents include:
The above list is not exhaustive, but it is clear from the items above that negligence and failure to abide by safety procedures and policies can lead to construction accidents that most likely could have been avoided.
Whenever a construction worker is hurt in a construction accident, he or she should seek medical attention immediately. The types of injuries that can be sustained during such accidents might include very serious injuries and/or trauma that may ultimately lead to long-term issues requiring ongoing treatment and/or rehabilitation.
The harmed worker should also notify a manager and/or the employer of the incident and keep notes detailing to whom the incident was reported. Additionally, if any other individuals were in the area at the time of the accident, be sure to obtain their information and jot down their accounts of what happened. Injured victims should also be sure to take pictures of the accident scene, the equipment involved (if any) and the injuries incurred (if they are visible).
Once all of the above have been done, a construction accident victim should consider seeking legal guidance from an attorney who can provide information with respect to potential legal options and entitlements.
Some injured construction workers who are working with attorneys to obtain just compensation for their injuries might experience financial hardships while they await a conclusion to their case, whether it's in the form of a settlement with the at-fault individual or entity or a verdict from a jury or judge. Life goes on even though you've been hurt; however, if your injuries keep you from working, your ability to pay monthly obligations can be greatly hindered.
