Construction Accidents
Construction accidents are incidents that occur on construction sites and result in injuries to workers. These accidents are a significant concern in the construction industry due to the high-risk nature of the work. When a worker is injured in a construction accident, they may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, which provide financial support for medical expenses, lost wages and other costs. Getting in touch with a Fresno-based attorney can help you file a claim and get the compensation you deserve.
Common types of construction accidents:
- Falls
- Struck by objects
- Caught-in/between equipment or objects
- Electrocutions
- Equipment accidents
- Fires and explosions
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Exposure to hazardous substances
