Wrongful Death From A Construction Accident

The construction industry can provide some individuals with a great and successful livelihood. On the other hand, it does have some substantial risk. Construction involves the use of heavy machinery, sharp objects, physical labor, and more – all of which can pose a risk to a construction worker’s well-being. For this reason, employers of construction workers must take the necessary measures to prevent and safeguard their employees from the harm that this field of work involves. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that roughly 150,000 construction accidents occur each year; some of those accidents turn fatal and end in a tragic death. When these deaths could have been prevented due to negligence on the employer’s part, there could be a case for wrongful death.

Any close family members of the deceased can sue an employer for wrongful death. A wrongful death may be determined in a case where the employer acted negligently or intentionally where the result was the death of one of their construction workers. If they fail to establish a certain protocol or instruction for using a particularly dangerous piece of heavy machinery, and consequently a worker is killed while using it, the at-fault party could be determined to be the employer since they acted negligently in not providing the worker with the proper safety.

Construction accidents ending in death can be anything from being struck by a heavy object to falling from a great height. Either way, if there was a negligent or intentional action that can be traced to have caused it, you may consider a wrongful death case.
