Arizona Construction Accident Lawyers Help Victims File Injury Claims
A number of construction accidents in Arizona, especially those relating to falls, are entirely preventable. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists specific guidelines about how workers should use scaffolds on constructions sites and what steps workers and their employers should take to prevent accidents and injuries.
Recently, a news article reported that a construction worker fell 15 feet from a scaffold at a building site. In this case, the worker did not sustain life-threatening injuries. It is indeed fortunate considering the height from which he fell. Hopefully, his injuries were not major. However, in many cases where workers fall from scaffolds, the injuries can keep them out of work for an extended period of time. As Phoenix construction accident lawyers, we have represented clients who have sustained severe back injuries as a result of a construction site fall. These injuries may require extensive treatment and therapy, which can also turn out to be very costly.
Arizona workers' compensation benefits usually cover workers who are injured in construction site accidents. However, when the accident involves serious injuries, these benefits may be inadequate to cover medical expenses, loss of wages and cost of treatment and therapy. In such cases, an experienced Arizona construction accident attorney will be able to look into whether you have a third party claim against a negligent contractor, sub-contractor or the manufacturer of a malfunctioning or defective piece of equipment.
