San Fernando Valley Fall Injury Lawyers

Falling Injury

Falls are a serious problem on California construction sites. Approximately 30% of the deaths that occur each year as a result of construction site accidents are the result of falls. Sadly, if proper safety procedures had been in place, most of these tragic accidents could have been prevented. Most construction site falls result in serious injury due to the fact that height is a factor. Some common types of construction site falls are:

  • Crane falls: Crane operators receive special training to operate these enormous pieces of equipment. Unfortunately, there are still times when operators fall from great heights resulting in very serious injuries or death. Additionally, cranes can fall over due to negligence.
  • Elevator shaft falls: Elevator shaft falls are almost always fatal. Tragically, most can easily be prevented with the proper safety precautions.
  • Scaffolding falls: Scaffolding is a temporary framework used to support construction workers and their equipment while working on large structures. Scaffolding can be built at very high levels and if improperly constructed, could collapse.
  • Roof falls: Roofing jobs can pose a great risk even for experienced roofers. These types of falls are one of the most common causes of death on a construction site.
  • Construction floor falls: These types of falls occur when holes in flooring are not properly marked, causing the construction worker to fall. Falls caused by holes in flooring or weak flooring area pose a serious hazard.

It is the responsibility of your employer to make sure that you are safe at work. You may do your part by wearing the proper safety equipment and adhering to all the rules and regulations, but if your employer or another construction worker is negligent, you can be seriously injured in a construction site fall.
