Like other busy cities in the United States, Salt Lake City experiences its fair share of both construction and construction accidents. Some of these accidents are based on unsafe conditions in general, while others have more to do with human error and mechanical defects. When people fall on construction sites, it can be due to any number of reasons.
However, the one thing that all construction accidents have in common is that determining who or what was responsible can be difficult to manage alone. If you have been in a construction accident, it’s important to put the responsibility where it belongs with the assistance of a capable Salt Lake City construction fall injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates.
Falls from heights are by far one of the most common causes of injuries on construction sites. Many falls are caused by the negligent actions of fellow contractors. In rare cases, acts of malice are found to have been intentionally responsible for some fall accidents.
Faulty safety equipment also plays a role in the high occurrence of fall injuries on construction sites. Some manufacturers are quite willing to cut corners and produce shoddy safety harnesses and ladders that don’t stand up to rigorous use.
If you aren’t sure what caused you construction fall, we can help you by investigating your accident and pinpointing the cause. If you didn’t cause your accident, you deserve to be compensated for what’s happened to you.
Fall injuries depend on how far you fell, what you landed on, and what you may have struck on the way down. The one thing they all have in common is that they can be expensive to treat. Some of the resulting injuries can easily be life-altering. Whether you fall on a construction site or in front of your neighbor’s house, this type of accident has the potential to cause serious back, neck, and spinal cord injuries.
Although insurance might cover the medical bills associated with your injury, you may need to seek additional compensation to help cover other expenses such as time off from work and future medical treatment and therapy.
Aside from that, you may also experience issues that will be ongoing and change your life forever. In any event, if someone else caused you to fall or be injured, they should be held accountable for your injuries and losses.
If you or someone you know was injured in a construction fall, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your accident-related damages and expenses. At Craig Swapp & Associates, our attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable. You can count on us to aggressively seek the compensation you are owed.
