The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there are about 150,000 construction work site injury accidents each year. A major portion of these incidents are the result of various types of work site falls. Workers often must work at high elevations, constructing tall buildings and other structures like bridges and towers. In combination with falling, workers may become injured during their fall by colliding with the structure or other equipment on the site.
Many of these workers injured in construction site falls are young persons, 25 to 34 years old. Any loss of work impacts this age group hard, as they may have dependent families counting on their peak years of earning capacity. Loss of a construction job due to injury or death hits home very hard. Expenses for severe injuries to head, spine, trunk and limbs can break the budget quickly. Compensation from workers’ compensation insurance may either not be available or not cover the extent of expenses from these accidents.
