Construction Accidents Lawyer Arlington Fort Worth texas

In the last quarter-decade since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been regulating workplace safety, injuries and fatalities in industrial jobs have declined - except for on construction sites.

The largest U.S. industry is construction, and it constantly registers high rates of workplace accidents. OSHA has deployed a large amount of its enforcement to the construction industry, yet it's had little success significantly reducing injuries and fatalities in that field.

A 1992 Bureau of Labor Statistics report revealed that the lost-workday case rate for the construction industry was 5.7 per 100 full-time workers - the highest of any major economic sector.

Injuries in construction can stem from:

• Lifting-equipment failure
• Compressed-gas accidents
• Welding accidents
• Roof- or ladder-related falls
• Trench collapses
• Fires and explosions
• Electrocutions and shock
• Crane accidents
• Being hit by a vehicle on the highway
• Being hit by operating equipment

Worker's compensation benefits do not take into account pain and suffering when a construction worker is hurt on the job.
