Fall at Construction Site Causes Back Injuries for Worker
Construction sites present numerous hazards to workers that can be overlooked by attorneys who don't have a certain level of expertise in this area of the law. A workman's comp claim is not the only way to go when it comes to construction accident injuries in Arizona. A construction worker who is hurt on the job can also be compensated by someone other than an employer who was negligent or failed to follow federal and state regulations – such as a contractor, a sub-contractor or the manufacturer of a defective product.
Falls are among the most common construction accidents that occur in Arizona. Falls can be fatal or can cause major injuries. For example, this news report talks about an incident where a construction worker fell from a roof at a local school and suffered back injuries. Apparently, the worker who landed on the second floor was alert as paramedics attended to him. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Construction site falls from a higher elevation occur for various reasons. Sometimes there is a spill or an object that the worker slips on or trips over. Also, there could be loose scaffolding that can give way and cause the worker to fall. Sometimes, construction equipment or other machinery can malfunction, causing the construction worker to be ejected. All these scenarios could cause major injuries or death.
