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 Wyoming construction accident lawyer can help.

Construction accident fatalities rank third in America for deaths caused by injuries. Also all too common are construction accident injuries. If a construction worker in Wyoming or elsewhere is injured in the workplace, a claim for liability can be brought against the employer, owner or contractor, as well as a possible Workers Compensation claim. Workers Compensation benefits may not be enough to cover the costs of a serious construction accident injury. If that is the case, it's vital to hold negligent parties responsible for the construction accident.

When a worker in Wyoming is injured in a construction accident, most likely it is the fault of the architect, operator, manager or owner of the construction site. Contractors and subcontractors also have a responsibility to make sure that the site is safe for their workers. As an employer, a contractor/subcontractor is liable for injuries suffered by workers on the contractor's construction site. Bystanders also may be injured, for which owners of the site also may be found liable. A skilled Wyoming construction accident lawyer can pinpoint the cause of the accident and then hold accountable those whose negligence caused it to happen.

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 qualified Wyoming construction accident lawyer can help.
