Pompano Beach Construction Site Accident Lawyer

Pompano Beach, Florida, is a bustling city with constant construction. Demolition, new construction, additions, road repair and other types of construction are common place. Unfortunately, the large amount of construction in Pompano translates to a large number of construction accidents. Workers and passers-by, as well as nearby property owners, can be impacted by a construction accident, and require the help of an attorney with specialized knowledge concerning construction accidents.

There are many reasons for construction site accidents in Pompano Beach. Because of the types of equipment involved in construction, they often require specialized training as well as continuing education to keep up with changes to that equipment. The size and strength of equipment means safety measures are critical, and it is critical to handle construction materials - like gasses and torches as well as hazardous materials - with care. There are also injuries due to product defects or improper maintenance, or due to obtaining proper permits or conducting proper inspections. Some of the major causes of construction accidents include:

• Insufficient training;
• Poor safety precautions and oversight;
• Crane accidents;
• Hoist accidents;
• Harness accidents;
• Collapsed structures;
• Improper use or maintenance of equipment;
• Compressed gases;
• Mechanical hazards;
• Exposure to toxic substances;
• Falls from elevations;
• Slips and falls;
• Defective equipment;
• Fires and explosions;
• Scaffolding accidents;
• Misuse of tools;
• Electrical accidents;
• Welding accidents;
• Falling objects.

Because construction sites deal with heavy, powerful equipment, hazardous materials, and explosive gasses, any construction accident in Pompano can involve serious injury, or even death. Workers are most immediately at risk, but those in the immediate vicinity can face injury from falling objects or explosions. Failure to adequately cordon off a construction site can also cause individuals to wander into the site inadvertently, which can cause injury. Property owners can also face damage from construction accidents.

Anyone involved in a construction accident is likely to require medical attention at some level. This could include a quick check up for scrapes or bruises, to stitches for cuts, to medical care for broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, or even death. Long term rehabilitation, medication, loss of ability to work, and permanent disability are all possibilities from a construction injury. Pompano Beach victims and their families can also recover damages for pain and suffering in some cases, as well as loss of consortium for widows or widowers.
