Many individuals don’t know this, but falls from heights is the number one killer of construction workers. Construction sites aren’t exactly the safest workplaces in the world, but OSHA regulations mean that supervisors, engineers and overseers must ensure that certain safety standards are in place in order to protect the lives and safety of construction workers. Falls from heights are almost always severe or catastrophic, and those that do happen to get injured in this manner experience spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and internal injuries that may take a long time to heal, if at all. In addition, after falling from a height at a construction site, chances are you may never be able to go back to your old job due to the permanent or chronic nature of your injuries, which may impact your ability to take care of yourself and your loved ones. In such cases, it is important that you get in touch with individuals that will help you recover money damages so your future is taken care of, and that’s where we step in.

Here are some of the most common causes of construction worker falls:

- Equipping workers with defective or unserviced personal protective equipment such as harnesses which snap and break, sending the individual falling to their death
- Failure to put up netting which would have otherwise saved falling construction workers
- Asking construction workers to work during inclement weather
- Failure to mark excavation sites so that workers can avoid them
- Falling off defective or poorly maintained ladders
