Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents often result from negligence or unsafe practices, and identifying the cause is critical to building a strong case. Common causes include:

  • Falls

    From scaffolding, ladders, or poorly secured heights.

  • Falling Objects

    Tools, equipment, or materials that strike workers or bystanders

  • Equipment Malfunctions

     Defective machinery or improper use of heavy equipment.

  • Electrical Hazards

    Exposure to live wires or poorly grounded electrical systems.

  • Unsafe Work Environments

    Lack of proper safety protocols, training, or protective equipment.

Our team thoroughly investigates every aspect of your case to determine liability and hold the responsible parties accountable for your injuries.

Elements of a Construction Accident Claim

Successfully pursuing a construction accident claim requires establishing the following elements

  • Duty of Care: The responsible party, such as an employer, contractor, or equipment manufacturer, owed a duty to maintain a safe environment.
  • Breach of Duty: This duty was violated through negligence, unsafe practices, or defective equipment.
  • Causation: The breach directly caused your injuries.
  • Damages: The injuries resulted in measurable harm, including medical expenses, lost income, or emotional suffering.

MPJ Law Firm has the experience to navigate these complexities and ensure that every aspect of your claim is addressed.
