Palm Springs Construction Accident Attorney

It is a known fact that construction workers must deal with some of the most dangerous working conditions, equipment and environments imaginable.  Each day, workers in the construction industry face situations where they could be injured.  From having to operate large machines like forklifts to walking on elevated scaffolds, workers can be involved in an workplace accident at any given moment.

Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can be caused by numerous things.  However, more common causes include:  faulty/defective equipment, poor judgment, falls from scaffolds, defective machinery, exposure to chemicals, exposure to electrical wiring, explosions and falling materials.  What many people do not realize is that, regardless of the cause, the majority of construction accidents are in fact preventable and can be attributed to employer negligence. 

All too often, employers and contractors fail to protect the safety of their workers.  Yet, employers of construction workers are legally responsible for ensuring that their employees are aware of hazards and they are also responsible for correcting dangerous conditions that may lead to accidents.  When employers fail to do this and their workers are injured, they may be subjected to a personal injury claim if their employees decide to take legal action.
