Construction Accidents
Men and women in the construction industry are legally entitled to a workplace free of hazards and accidents under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Unfortunately, construction related accidents still run higher than the national average. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that in 2004, the construction industry had the second highest number of workplace injuries in the country and accounted for an above-average number of days lost to these injuries. While the law does not allow workers to sue their employers while they collect workers' compensation benefits, injured construction employees are more likely to have a case because construction work typically involves multiple contractors.
