Construction is the country’s largest industry and has consistently registered high rates of workplace accidents. Individuals employed on construction sites find themselves confronted with dangerous, life-threatening work conditions on a daily basis.

In the construction industry, falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and half of all work-related fatal falls in the U.S. occur in the construction industry. The primary location where fatal falls occur is buildings and structures, scaffolds, and ladders. In addition to the high death rate from falls there are also injuries such as musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic health hazards that are also a high risk to construction workers.

Construction workers have an increased risk of lead poisoning because of the high lead exposure to workers engaged in the maintenance, repairing, or demolition of bridges. All of these injuries are complicated in nature and require expert legal representation in the areas of inspection of worksites, identification of critical witnesses and in the preservation of importance evidence.
