Construction Accident Lawyers: Falling Objects
Even a small object can do a huge amount of damage if it is dropped from a height and hits someone below. Larger objects, from power tools to pieces of scaffolding, can carry a huge amount of destructive force.
No hard hat can adequately protect someone from being injured by an object that falls from a great height. Construction workers and passersby who are struck by materials that fall from upper levels of construction sites can suffer head injury, traumatic brain injury and death.
Ten percent of all fatal work accidents in 2006 occurred when the accident victim was struck by an object, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
At Lane & Lane, LLC, our construction accident attorneys represent workers and others injured by falling objects at construction sites, including:
- Falling scaffolding and ladders
