Common Construction Labor Injuries

Some common types of construction injuries that may be eligible for workers' compensation include:

Falls: Construction workers are at risk of falls from scaffolding, ladders, roofs, cranes, and other elevated areas.

Strains and sprains: Heavy lifting, repetitive motion, and overexertion can lead to strains and sprains.

Crush injuries: Construction sites often involve heavy machinery and equipment, increasing the risk of crush injuries.

Electrical injuries: Electric shocks and burns can occur when working with live wires or faulty electrical systems.

Fractures: Falling objects or accidents involving equipment can result in bone fractures.

Respiratory conditions: Construction workers may be exposed to hazardous substances such as asbestos, dust, or chemicals, which can lead to respiratory conditions.

Hearing loss: Continuous exposure to loud noises on construction sites can cause hearing loss over time.

Burns: Contact with hot surfaces, chemicals, or fires can cause burns.

Musculoskeletal injuries: The nature of construction work can put significant strain on muscles, joints, and ligaments, resulting in musculoskeletal injuries.

These are just a few examples, and the specific injuries eligible for workers' compensation can vary based on the jurisdiction and the circumstances surrounding the accident. It is important to consult with an attorney or your workers' compensation provider to understand the specific eligibility criteria and benefits available in your situation.
