Construction Site Injuries

Atlanta Construction Injuries

Construction accident injuries are often serious and have long-term physical and financial consequences. In some cases, the victims of a construction site accident are unable to return to work due to the severity of their injuries. Workers’ compensation may not be enough to cover their losses. For this reason, and many others, some individuals choose to pursue a construction accident lawsuit against negligent third parties.

Types of Atlanta Construction Accident Injuries

Severe construction site injuries, like those detailed below, can cause a lifetime of suffering. Construction site accidents can lead to any number of the following:

Head Injuries – These can be caused by any number of construction accident types, such as a slip and fall from scaffolding or a trench collapse. Head injuries are often very serious as they can cause Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and usually involve heavy bleeding. 

Spinal and Back Injuries – Construction workers with a spinal injury or back injury could face a lifetime of discomfort and an inability to go back to construction work.

Burns – Burn injuries resulting from a fire or explosion at a construction site can cause severe medical complications, not to mention disfigurement, in their victims. Electrical burns are especially damaging and can be fatal.

Crushing and piercing injuries – The equipment, especially mechanized equipment, used on a construction site can be extremely dangerous, especially when the operators have not been properly trained, certified, or supervised. This can lead to severe injuries for workers.

Amputations – This particularly severe construction site injury is unfortunately not uncommon. The debilitating effects of an amputation last a lifetime, and victims of such an injury deserve more than workers’ compensation if someone else’s negligence was the cause.

If any of these construction site injuries are the result of negligence on the part of certain contractors, property owners, or manufacturing companies, the victims may be entitled to compensation.
