Your Delaware construction accident lawyer takes your side in Delaware

Among the most risky occupations in the United States is construction. About 9 million people work in construction occupations, which translates to about 6 per cent of the total work force in this country. Yet 20 per cent of workplace deaths annually are from the construction industry. In short, those who labor in construction are subject to a far greater rate of death or injury from a construction accident than those in most other occupations. Those workers may require a trained Delaware construction accident attorney.

Established in 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was written to enhance safe working conditions in jobs such as those on construction sites. The Act allows states to develop and enforce such standards on their own, which 21 states have done. The other 29 states and the District of Columbia are covered by the federal act and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It is responsible for outlining and enforcing the act's safety standards in the work place. At such a time that such standards aren't met and a construction accident injury occurs, a skilled Delaware construction accident lawyer can help.

One of the most common forms of accidents on a construction job is a fall. Construction workers often must toil at substantial heights, and falls from such heights can be serious, if not fatal. Other forms of construction accident injuries include scaffold collapse, defective forklifts, electric shock, trench collapse, trips or falls and repetitive motion injuries. Another recurring accident has been construction crane collapses. A knowledgeable Delaware construction accident lawyer can help.
