Maryland Construction Accident Lawyers

Waldorf Construction Accident Injury

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries that a person can get into. Unfortunately, construction accident injuries in Maryland and across the United States are fairly common occurrences and can be caused by falls, defective equipment, heavy machinery accidents, slip and falls, electrocution, exposure to toxic chemicals and other hazards that may be typical of a construction site. However, another cause of a construction accident injury is negligence due to oversight of rules and regulations in order to finish a project quicker or garner a higher profit.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2007, there were 135,350 work related accidents and illnesses with 877 of those incidents resulting in death. Of those fatal injuries, 206 were due to contact with equipment, 442 were caused by falls, 23 occurred from fires and explosions, and 179 were caused by exposure to harmful chemicals and environment. Because of the dangers present on a regular basis at construction sites, it is imperative that all rules and regulations required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) be followed exactly.

A construction accident in Waldorf and the surrounding areas in the state of Maryland can result in a variety of injuries ranging from minor to serious. Some possible injuries may include:

When proper standards and regulations are not adhered to and a construction worker suffers a serious injury, the negligent party can be held legally responsible for the injury and all subsequent expenses. Depending on the extent of the injury, re-constructive surgery, physical therapy, and rehabilitation may be required in order for the injured party to heal and live as close to a normal life as possible. In the event that the injured individual cannot return to his or her line of work, vocational job training may be necessary. In addition, the negligent party can also be held liable for other damages including, but not limited to: various medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and decreased quality of life.
