Construction work is considered one of the most dangerous in the US. Shockingly, recent statistics reveal that over 20% of all work-related fatalities in the United States occur within the construction industry, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Your profession carries inherent risks, so you deserve to be represented by an expert team!
STEP 1 - CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS WE REPRESENT
We have dealt with several different cases of construction accidents:
- Machinery accidents: While heavy machinery is essential for construction projects, malfunctions or operator negligence can pose significant worker risks.
- Exposure to dangerous chemicals or toxins: Construction workers risk respiratory illnesses when inhaling certain chemicals or toxins.
- Height-related accidents: Falls from heights, such as scaffolding accidents, ladder mishaps, and roofing incidents, can have severe consequences for construction workers.
- Slip and fall incidents: A simple slip and fall on the ground can cause significant injuries like broken bones, sprains, and other harm.
- Electrocutions: The presence of electrical equipment, wiring, and lightning pose electrocution hazards for construction workers.
- Repetitive stress injuries: Certain construction tasks that require repetitive motions can result in stress-related injuries affecting areas such as the back, wrists, ankles, and joints.
These are just some of the many factors that can cause construction accidents. We are compelled to highlight the significance of reaching out for legal representation as the statistical reality and seriousness of a potential injury are far too common. By understanding these causes, construction companies, site managers, and colleagues can collaborate to implement safer standards for all those who put themselves at risk.

STEP 3 - PROVING NEGLIGENCE
You may seek information about your legal options when facing a construction-related injury. Your injury could be a result of workplace negligence.
Negligence can manifest in various forms within the construction context. Examples of construction negligence may involve:
- A distinct lack of adequate guidance from your superiors leading to an unsafe situation.
- Use of unsafe or poorly maintained tools and equipment.
- Equipment or vehicle malfunctions.
- Unsafe working conditions.
- Insufficient training for hazardous environments.
- Presence of unsafe, untrained, or unaware coworkers.
Regardless of the nature of negligence contributing to your injury, you must satisfy two essential elements for a court to deem negligence in your case. You need to demonstrate that a duty of care was owed to you and breach of contract.
WHO HAS THE DUTY OF CARE?
The unique nature of a construction site involves multiple individuals who may be involved in the work or responsible for the equipment. This can include various parties such as the construction company, architect, site manager, contractors, and even fellow employees.
Determining liability in a construction claim can be a challenging task to navigate. With our expertise in investigating such claims, we can assist you in identifying the party or parties responsible for your accident.
BREACH OF CONTRACT
Breach of contract is the next crucial element to establish after proving a duty of care. It signifies that a party responsible for fulfilling their duty of care has failed to do so without a valid reason, resulting in a breach of duty or contract.
In the construction industry, breaches of this standard of care can take various forms, such as employers failing to provide a safe workplace, intoxicated coworkers, and manufacturers selling defective machinery or equipment.
These examples demonstrate how breaches of contract can occur. If you believe your injury resulted from a party's failure to fulfill their duty towards you, contact Muller Brazil to learn what you could be entitled to.
