Construction Injuries

One of the most dangerous occupations in the world is that of a construction worker. Workers at construction sites are at risk in numerous ways including equipment malfunction and failure, defective tools and machinery, employer negligence, and unsafe working conditions due to lack of management oversight.

Construction workers injured on a job site may be due compensation to cover the costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation and loss of income. If so, legal action can be taken against those responsible for various aspects of the construction project including equipment managers, construction managers, general contractors and subcontractors.

Scaffolding, Man Lift and Crane Injuries

The Puget Sound region has seen its share of crane injuries resulting from negligence in recent years. One of the most notable, the 2006 Bellevue crane that collapsed and fell on an apartment building killing a Microsoft attorney who lived there. In that case, a wrongful death suit was filed against the general contractor and the engineering firm for the project. The case was settled for an undisclosed amount before going to trial.

As a result of this negligence and others, in 2007 Washington passed one of the nation’s toughest crane safety laws.

Trench Injuries

Construction work is dangerous. Construction workers place themselves at risk of catastrophic injury or death every day. Working in a trench can be especially dangerous and it is important that special safety measures are undertaken to protect the worker. If a trench collapses the worker can be trapped and crushed by heavy soil, which can suffocate or cause other serious personal injury.

If you or a loved one has been injured, or died in a trench collapse, you and your family may be entitled to Washington worker’s compensation benefits. Additionally, if negligence is involved, you may be entitled to compensation from third parties such as the general contractor, another employee on the site, or a manufacturer of defective equipment.

Electrocutions

Almost 40% of all construction injuries and deaths are due to electrocution. Electrocutions are all too common off the construction site as well due to defective household appliances and power tools.

Construction injury electrocutions most often occur when a worker is exposed to power lines or other electrical sources. When a worker is electrocuted on the job site he or she is usually eligible for workers’ compensation and may be entitled to compensation from third parties responsible for safety, safety training, or because of defective equipment.

If you or a loved one has experienced an electrocution injury or death, contact the construction injury lawyers at Dore Deutscher. We have the expertise and the resources necessary to aggressively fight to negotiate or litigate fair and just compensation for you.
