Construction injuries come from a variety of sources. Falls, scaffolding, cranes and overhead power lines, use of heavy equipment, motorized vehicles, are among the most common sources. Many other dangers such as carbon monoxide, confined spaces and trench cave-ins can also cause serious and even fatal injuries.

Construction sites have the potential to become dangerous places. Construction firms and contractors have the legal responsibility to protect both their employees and people passing by a site from injury. The failure to maintain a safe construction site or placing the adequate warning signs of potential hazards is considered negligence, and the construction firm and contractor may be held liable for any injuries that occur as a result. Attorney Jeffrey Powers can help victims of construction accidents recover the compensation they deserve.
