Construction site accidents occur at an alarming rate in the United States. The nature of heavy construction and construction sites are by themselves hazardous and construction workers routinely find themselves performing in life-threatening work conditions. Even with the available safety precautions in place, serious construction accidents and injuries occur too frequently due to negligent implementation of proper safety procedures and ultra hazardous business practices aimed at lowering costs rather than saving lives.
Additionally, many states workers' compensation laws may severely limit recovery for construction site accidents. Workers compensation may even preclude an employee from suing an employer. Furthermore, Workers Compensation may generally limit the employee to a workers' compensation system which may not provide compensation for pain and suffering for workplace injuries. Many of these compensation laws may place specific limits on how long an injured worker may collect benefits, even if the worker is injured indefinitely.
