Construction Negligence

The construction industry inherently exposes workers to daily life-threatening risks. Common construction site injuries encompass:

• Scaffold or ladder falls resulting in multiple bone fractures.
• Overexertion while lifting heavy objects leading to back strains.
• Impact injuries causing concussions.
• Loss of digits due to hazardous machinery operation.
• Exposure to perilous chemicals or gases.

Many construction sites fall short of safety standards, and accidents can often be prevented with diligent safety measures mandated by developers and owners. While this isn’t always the case, every construction site must adhere to legal standards, including those outlined in Illinois and OSHA regulations.
