Avoid Financial Disaster after an Accident
Each year in the U.S., about 150,000 individuals are injured in construction accidents, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most of these accidents happen to workers who earn a living in the construction industry. Construction accident injuries often cause disabling injuries that cut careers short, significantly limit the types of work that victims can perform and devastate families financially.

Common Causes Of Construction Accidents
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries, putting lives at stake on each job site every day. You may not think of it this way (and it would probably be impossible to work if you did), but it’s true. Not only are conditions on your job potentially life-threatening, the safety of workers often lies in the hands of property owners, equipment manufacturers and subcontractors.
Some of the most common causes of construction accident injuries include:
- Defective equipment
- Slip-and-fall
- Accidents with saws
- Falling objects
- Crane accidents
- Ladder and scaffolding accidents
- Fires and explosions
- Electrical shock
- Employer negligence
- Exposure to toxic substances
- Safety violations
While some accidents cannot be avoided, others are simply the result of negligence. For such accidents, you can recover personal injury compensation, in many cases. Some of the questions workers often ask our Kansas City construction accident lawyers when they are injured on a construction site as a result of negligence include:
- Will I be compensated for my injuries, and if so, how?
- Will the insurance company treat me fairly?
- If I cannot work, how will I meet medical expenses and other financial obligations?
- What if I am unable to work due to my injuries?
- What if my employer cannot accommodate my injuries, and I am given light-duty restrictions?
Our Kansas City construction accident lawyers will address all of your questions and provide you with the answers you need to gain peace of mind.
