Construction Worker Accidents in Texas
Construction work is both America’s largest and most dangerous industry. Each year almost 500,000 workers suffer injuries as a result of their work in this hazardous line of work. Construction sites are often full of unsafe conditions. Injuries commonly result from falling objects, slips, trips and falls, and lifting, carrying or stacking of heavy items. Other frequent injuries are the result of crane and scaffolding accidents, electric shock, trench collapses and fires and explosions. These conditions can be brought on by damaged or sub-par equipment, untrained employees, negligence of employees or general contractors.
