Arizona Construction Worker Injured by Saw Blade in Accident
Arizona construction site accidents can result in devastating injuries for workers and may have serious financial consequences for their families as well. According to a report by The East Valley Tribune, a 27-year-old construction worker had to be flown to the hospital for surgery after a saw blade impaled his stomach. The worker was on a ladder working on a home on East Merlot Street when the 10-inch blade kicked back and caused his critical Scottsdale workplace injury.
A serious Arizona construction accident can happen anywhere and at anytime, no matter the size of the job site. Power tools may lessen the effort required by construction workers but their convenience comes at a price; when a tool such as a saw blade or nail gun is defective or misused, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic.
Victims of Arizona workplace accidents may be entitled to compensation for their losses. Workers harmed by someone else’s negligence, defective equipment or an unsafe work environment would be well-advised to contact an experienced Arizona construction accident attorney. In many cases, workers’ compensation benefits are insufficient to cover the actual cost of a serious on-the-job injury. Often, a third party, such as a contractor, sub-contractor or the manufacturer of a defective product may be held liable for the accident.
