How can I claim further compensation for an accident on a construction site?
Accident claim construction solicitor
The construction industry is undoubtedly a high-risk environment, made all the more dangerous by having to often face great hazards with little or improper regard for workers’ safety, in the name of deadlines and profitability.
Notwithstanding stringent health and safety regulations and laws passed over the years, working in the construction industry still carries a very serious chance of accident, debilitating injuries and unfortunately death – with hundreds suffering needlessly every year due to accidents in construction sites all over the UK.
Common, yet perfectly avoidable injuries happening on construction sites, leading to spinal cord injuries, back and neck injuries, chemical burns, paralysis, amputations, brain injuries, and broken or crushed limbs, include:
- Heavy machinery accidents
- Scaffolding accidents
- Nail gun accidents
- Compressed gas accidents
- Defective and dangerous machinery accidents
- Mechanical risks due to machinery components
- Slip, trip and fall accidents
- Trenching and excavation accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Explosions
- Transportation accidents
- Welding accidents
Whilst at law construction workers have to have insurance cover, the premium may simply not be enough to cover for medical bills, loss of wages and above all permanent injuries or disfigurement, and in the often tragic loss of life.
