Types of Construction Accidents

A wide range of accidents can take place on construction sites, spanning from minor mishaps to major incidents. 

Types of construction accidents include but aren't limited to:

  • Forklift accidents: Construction worker safety can be compromised by untrained and unlicensed forklift operators. These machines are prone to rollovers, posing serious, sometimes fatal risks even to skilled operators.
  • Struck by object: Construction workers are at risk of sustaining permanent or fatal injuries from being struck by falling materials and other similar hazards.
  • Equipment malfunctions: These accidents can occur when tools or machinery fail to function as intended. Such malfunctions can result from inadequate maintenance, wear and tear, or operator errors.
  • Electrocutions: The risk of high voltage contact on construction sites is high, potentially leading to fatal accidents without proper safety precautions.
  • Falls: Workers may suffer falls from ladders, scaffolding, or construction equipment like cranes and forklifts, leading to severe or even fatal injuries.
  • Toxic chemical exposure: The construction industry uses numerous toxic substances, including paints, solvents, and sealants, which pose significant health risks when proper safety protocols are not implemented.

FAQs

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What qualifies as a personal injury?

    A personal injury generally refers to any bodily injury sustained in an accident, from minor bruises to severe brain trauma. The most common personal injury claims arise from harm sustained from traffic wrecks, slip and fall accidents, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and medical malpractice.

  • What is the personal injury statute of limitations in Illinois?

    Under state law, the statute of limitations (or deadline) for most personal injury claims in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. However, for claims against governmental agencies, there are special limitation periods that may be as short as a year. You should always consult with an attorney on what particular limitations period might apply to your claim. You should seek legal help immediately, as a delay may be fatal to your claim. Unless you have a special exception, your claim will be thrown out if you attempt to file after the limitations period has passed.


    Because every personal injury claim is different, it is difficult to determine an average settlement. A victim who lost a limb will likely need to receive more in medical expenses than someone who broke an arm, for instance. Although personal injury claims tend to average anywhere between $3000 to $75,000—an extremely broad range—there may be significant economic and noneconomic factors in your individual case that may indicate that your particular claim would be valued at a significantly higher figure at trial in front of a jury. An attorney can help you estimate your unique losses based on the facts of your case. The knowledge of an attorney experienced in jury verdict value is extremely important. You should be entitled to make up for your specific losses at the very least.
     

  • What evidence is needed for a personal injury claim?

    Necessary evidence can vary case by case depending on the specifics of your situation. However, one of the most helpful pieces of evidence is your medical records. If you can prove that you sought medical attention for a serious injury after an accident, you are more likely to receive compensation to cover the expenses associated with said injury. Other helpful evidence includes any photographs of the accident scene, accident reports, witness statements, insurance forms, receipts, and any other physical evidence related to the injury.
