Chicago Construction Accidents Lawyer

Chicago, IL Construction Accident Lawyer

Construction workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions in the country. If you have been injured on the job, let our attorneys fight for the compensation you deserve.

Each year, thousands of construction workers die and hundreds of thousands are injured while doing their jobs. Although construction companies are required to comply with numerous safety regulations, many of them fail to do so. In addition, even at the safest job sites, accidents and mistakes still lead to numerous serious injuries every year.

In fact, construction work is so dangerous that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) tracks construction-related injuries and deaths separately from those in other industries. It has even come up with a list of “Fatal Four” construction site injuries – the four types of injuries that lead to the most construction deaths each year.

Just How Bad Is It for Construction Workers?

You’ve heard it before: Working construction is among the most dangerous jobs – if not the most dangerous job – in the country. Thousands of construction workers get hurt every single day. So, if you have been injured, you are not alone. Consider these additional statistics from OSHA:

• On average, more than 13 construction workers die on the job every single day.
• Construction deaths account for roughly 17 percent of all work-related deaths.
• The “Fatal Four” causes of construction site deaths are: (i) falls (40 percent of all deaths); (ii) electrocutions (9 percent of all deaths); (iii) being struck by an object (8 percent of all deaths); and, (iv) being caught in or between materials or equipment (1 percent of all deaths).
• Construction companies break so many rules that OSHA has established a “Top 10” most-frequently cited violations.
• Hispanic and Latino workers face disproportionately high rates of construction-related fatalities.
