Phoenix, Arizona Construction Site Injury Lawyer Addresses Serious Injury in Construction Site Fall
Falls are among the most common causes for Arizona construction accident fatalities. Falls can also result in catastrophic injuries that could disable a construction worker for the rest of his life. Such situations may impose severe financial and emotional strain on workers and their families. Injured victims typically receive Arizona worker's compensation benefits. However, when there are major or catastrophic injuries that prevent the worker from returning to work, worker's compensation benefits may not be adequate enough to compensate for past and future lost wages, continued treatment or care, or medical bills.
A recent news article reported an incident where a worker fell 12 feet at a construction site. The incident happened when the man stepped backward and fell on to an unfinished basement floor. The construction worker sustained head and internal injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
Falls at a construction site could occur as a result of unprotected sides, wall openings, floor holes, improper scaffold construction, unguarded protruding steel bars and misuse of portable ladders. In fact, falls from elevation account for one-third of all construction deaths, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
