Construction is widely recognized as being one of the most dangerous industries in the country. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that 17% of all workplace fatalities in the country in 2010 occurred on construction sites. The number of construction deaths is, however, on the decrease thanks in large part to safety campaigns such as OSHA’s Worker Safety Series.

Hired Joseph Morris to handle my car accident and he did a great job at handling the case and explained the process as the case went. I would highly recommend him.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 1,016 fatal construction deaths in 2008, followed by 879 in 2009, 802 in 2010, and 759 in 2011. The most common types of fatal construction accidents have been dubbed by OSHA as the “Fatal Four,” a group that accounts for three out of five deaths in the construction industry. These include falls, electrocution, being struck by objects, and being stuck between objects or machinery.
Most companies in Alabama are required by state law to carry Workers’ Compensation to cover their employees in the event of an accident on the job site, so there is a good chance that you are entitled to file a claim for benefits. Unfortunately, Workers’ Compensation generally only pays at a rate of two-thirds of the worker’s normal wages, so even if your claim is approved, you could be facing considerable financial hardship.
You may have another option. If it can be proven that your accident was caused, or contributed to, by another person, you could have grounds for a personal injury claim. This could be a subcontractor, a property owner, or even the manufacturer of defective equipment.
