Construction Worker Accidents
Federal and state laws protect the health and safety of Alabama construction workers. These laws set forth the standards that the construction industry must follow to reduce or eliminate various construction site hazards. For example, OSHA mandates that contractors follow various safety standards governing the use of scaffolding and cranes.
Despite these standards, construction site accidents still occur. Sometimes, an accident may take place because the contractor failed to follow applicable safety rules. Other times, a machine or tool that a construction worker was using may have failed and triggered the accident. Regardless, once a construction worker is injured, he or she will likely want answers to the following questions:
- Who will pay my medical bills?
- How will I pay my rent or mortgage while I am recovering from my injuries?
- What if I require additional treatment or physical therapy after I am discharged from the hospital?
- What if I am permanently injured and will not be able to return to my previous job?
