Common Types of Construction Accidents

Construction workers have certain protections under New York’s Scaffold Law, per LAB §240 and LAB §241. These laws establish safety guidelines that contractors and site owners must follow. When these guidelines are violated, and a worker gets hurt, the injured worker has a right to sue for compensation.

There are a variety of factors that can contribute to the potential hazards on a job site. Some of the most common types of construction site accidents include:

Falling Debris

Falling debris can take anyone by surprise, including construction workers, pedestrians walking by, or other occupants of the building. Construction sites are often filled with tools, materials, and other objects. If any of these items fall from a height, they could hit someone below and injure them.

Electrocution

When construction sites are in progress, there are often exposed wires. If a wire has power running to it, touching the wire could lead to electrocution.

Vehicle Accidents

Construction workers have a risk of being hit by a vehicle, especially if their construction site is close to a road. Drivers may be distracted and not notice the construction zone.

Falls

Construction work often requires workers to be on ladders or working from extremely high places. Falling is a common cause of construction site injuries. If a construction site is not kept in order, a worker or anyone on site could also trip and fall over materials or tools lying around.
