Construction Accidents Compensation Claims

Construction Accidents

The construction industry in the UK is said to be one of the safest in Europe despite the fact that one third of work fatalities happen in this industry as you as six times more likely to be killed undertaking this physically demanding job than doing a job in any other industry.

Some of the most common causes of construction accidents are the following:

• Slip, trip or fall
• Falling from heights such as scaffolding and ladders
• Incorrect training or equipment for handling, lifting and carrying items
• Safety harness failure
• Being hit by a forklift
• Chemical spillage
• No safety training
• Being hit by a falling object

The main cause of construction accidents is due to incorrect training or no safety information as well defective equipment. All of these aspects mean that your accident was due to the negligence of another person and as a result you could be able to make a claim for compensation.
