How Westchester County workers get hurt on construction sites
Construction sites are dangerous workplaces, and an accident can happen at any time. Some common ways that construction workers get hurt on the job include:
- falls from scaffolding, ladders, roofs, or elevated surfaces
- being struck by falling objects, such as tools, equipment, or building materials
- accidents involving construction machinery, such as cranes, forklifts, excavators, or power tools
- exposure to live electricity through exposed wiring or electrical systems
- trench collapses, which can bury workers
- slipping and falling on slippery surfaces, uneven ground, or debris
- vehicle accidents involving trucks or heavy machinery
- lifting heavy objects or using vibrating tools repeatedly
- exposure to hazardous chemicals or substances
These are just some examples, and there are other potential hazards in the construction industry that can result in injuries. When construction workers are hurt on the job, they deserve workers’ compensation benefits. But the claims process can be complicated and many claims are denied.
