Construction site accidents have become much more common in recent years due to an increase in construction. Design plans often involve the construction of buildings that are several stories high and require construction workers to contend with height and wind dangers. At Gonzales & Gonzales, we know the law regarding Austin construction accident injuries. We will fight for your rights and win you the personal injury compensation you are entitled to, no matter how large or small your case is.

Causes of Construction Accidents

The number of injuries on-the-job is much higher in the construction industry than in any other. Most injuries are caused by one or more of the following circumstances:

• Insufficient training
• Unsafe working conditions
• Unsafe equipment
• Poor safety precautions

In the majority of construction accidents, the injured party can only collect Workers' Compensation benefits. In order to collect damages for personal injury liability, a lawyer must be retained. Liability claims that can be filed relate to:

• Defective products
• Defective equipment
• Contractor or subcontractor negligence
• Crane accidents
• Falls from ladders and scaffolding
• Injuries from falling objects
• Electrocution

The likelihood of a construction site being absolutely free of accidents is very slim when you take into account the nature of the work involved. Temperature, wind and other weather conditions contribute to the ever changing circumstances that construction workers deal with every day on the job.
