Construction Site Accidents and Injuries

Construction workers deal with some of the most dangerous working conditions faced by workers in any industry. Unfortunately, construction accidents are common and can result in serious and disabling injuries. Not only workers, but innocent persons merely passing a construction site can be injured as well. Whether at a small residential construction site or at a large commercial project managed by a general contractor (such as Howard Wright Construction Co., Sellen Construction, S.G. Taylor Construction, Mortenson Construction) construction accidents continue to occur despite safety plans, work site standards and on-site safety engineers.
