Protecting Construction Workers After Serious Accidents
Private and public construction projects in Florida and Georgia are booming, building new roads, housing developments, restaurants, improved venues, and more. But with progress comes risk. Construction workers face some of the most dangerous job conditions in Florida:
- Heavy machinery and equipment like cranes, bulldozers, and dump trucks.
- Power tools such as jackhammers, saws, and pile drivers.
- Elevated workspaces, including scaffolds, ladders, and rooftops.
Every day, electricians, plumbers, masons, and machine operators walk onto job sites hoping to return home safe. Sadly, thousands nationwide do not. According to OSHA, more than 5,200 construction workers lost their lives in 2016 alone, an average of 14 fatalities every single day.
At The Perazzo Law Firm, we understand the stakes. Our personal injury team is dedicated to representing victims of construction site accidents and their families in pursuit of full and fair compensation.
Common Construction Site Accidents We Handle
Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in the United States. Despite strict safety regulations, workers are often exposed to hazardous conditions, defective equipment, and negligent practices that can lead to serious injuries or even death. At the Perazzo Law Firm, we represent construction workers, contractors, and their families when accidents occur, fighting to hold negligent employers, contractors, and insurance companies accountable. Below are some of the most common construction site accidents we handle on behalf of injured workers in Miami, Atlanta, and throughout Florida and Georgia.
Some of the most common construction worker accidents may include:
Falls from Heights: Falls are the leading cause of construction fatalities. From scaffolds, ladders, rooftops, or elevators, falls can result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. Victims may face long rehabilitation periods, loss of income, and ongoing medical expenses.
Struck by Heavy Objects: Faulty cranes, falling materials, or oversized machinery often cause devastating injuries. These incidents frequently lead to fractures, head trauma, or fatalities. Employers and insurance companies must be held accountable for medical bills and lost wages.
Electrocution: Exposed wiring, unsafe fuse boxes, and improper electrical installations make electrocution the third leading cause of construction deaths, representing over 8% of fatalities nationwide.
Accidents with Heavy Machinery: Bulldozers, rollers, cranes, and other heavy machinery can trap or crush workers, often causing severe injuries. Many of these tragedies result from negligence, poor safety practices, or defective equipment.
Workers’ Rights & Insurance Claims
Construction workers injured on the job are usually covered by workers’ compensation. However, in many cases, third-party claims may provide additional compensation for:
- Medical expenses and long-term care
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members
Under product liability laws, manufacturers and maintenance providers of heavy machinery may also be held responsible if defective equipment caused the accident.
