Your Vermont construction accident lawyer takes your side in Vermont

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 Vermont construction accident attorney.

An all too common kind of construction mishap is a construction crane collapse. A number of such accidents have occurred in recent years, including two separate construction crane collapses with fatalities in New York City and others in Las Vegas, Houston and Miami. Texas by itself had 26 construction crane deaths in 2005 and 2006, leading all of America. Regulations governing construction crane safety differ widely from state to state and from city to city. If you or a family member has suffered in a construction crane collapse or other construction accident in Vermont or elsewhere, notify an experienced Vermont construction accident attorney.

Passed into law in 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was created to encourage safe working conditions in occupations such as those on construction sites. The Act allows states to enforce and develop such standards on their own, which 21 states have done. The remaining 29 states and the District of Columbia are covered by the federal act and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It is focused on outlining and enforcing the act's safety measures in the work place. When that such standards are disregarded and a construction accident injury transpires, a skilled Vermont construction accident attorney can assist.
