Florida Construction Accident Attorneys

Working in construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Every day, workers are exposed to hazardous conditions, heavy machinery, and risky environments that increase the likelihood of serious workplace accidents. Despite strict state and federal laws designed to protect construction workers, some employers cut corners to save time and money, putting their employees’ lives at risk.

Types of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can happen for many reasons, including negligence, lack of safety measures, or defective equipment. In Florida, some of the most common causes of accidents on construction sites include:

• Unsafe Work Environments: Poor safety protocols, lack of proper signage, and failure to follow regulations create hazardous conditions.
• Poorly Maintained Equipment: Faulty machinery and worn-out tools can lead to catastrophic injuries.
• Electrical Shocks: Contact with live wires or improper grounding of equipment can cause severe burns and fatalities.
• Scaffolding Falls: Weak or improperly secured scaffolding can collapse, leading to serious injuries or death.
• Slip and Falls: Uneven surfaces, unsecured tools, or liquid spills can cause preventable falls on the job site.
• Burns: Fires, explosions, and contact with hot surfaces or chemicals can cause life-altering injuries.
• Toxic Chemical Spills: Exposure to hazardous chemicals can lead to respiratory issues, burns, and long-term health complications.
• Explosions: Gas leaks, unsafe handling of flammable materials, and improper use of equipment can result in devastating explosions.
• Crane Accidents: Improper crane operation, mechanical failure, or structural issues can lead to severe injuries or fatalities.
• Falling Materials: Tools, debris, and building materials falling from heights can cause traumatic injuries to workers below.
• Caught In-Between Objects: Workers can become trapped between heavy equipment, vehicles, or collapsing structures.
• Machine Malfunctions: Faulty or defective machines can crush, amputate, or severely injure workers.
