It’s often said that accidents happen, and that they are part of life. However, research has shown time and time again that over 90 percent of the time, human negligence is the proximate cause of all accidents. A building collapse at a construction site can have catastrophic effects. Some individuals may lose their lives, and others may get so horrifically injured that the life they knew would change in a heartbeat. Unable to work after such an event, many aspects of a construction worker’s life would change, making them make adjustments due to the fact that someone didn’t do their job right, precipitating the building collapse. City councils across the country work closely with the government work safety agency OSHA to ensure that safety regulations are enforced in order to keep workers safe at all times. These regulations may seem tedious, but the fact remains that following them leads to the prevention of such serious accidents. It is important to note that a building at a construction site may collapse due to numerous reasons such as structural issues, but the fact remains that you as an injured construction worker have every right to file a claim in order to recover money damages with the help of an attorney, and we’re here to help with that.
