Working in the construction industry comes with inherent risks, but even construction workers should not have their lives threatened on the job. Tragically, a number of construction workers lose their lives in preventable workplace accidents each year.

Depending upon the circumstances it may be appropriate for a family to consider seeking financial compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit.

Common Fatal Accidents

Sadly, fatal accidents on construction sites are rather common, and often involve similar incidents. Many construction-related wrongful deaths at the workplace involve:

  • Electrocution
  • Falling accidents
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Equipment malfunctions
  • Crane or scaffolding collapses
  • Explosions
  • Exposure to toxic substances

Employers have a responsibility to ensure that the workplace complies with relevant regulations and safety standards. When they fail in this regard and an employee is killed as a consequence, legal action is almost certainly warranted.
