Construction Accident Attorney
If you live in West Los Angeles, you know there is a seemingly endless number of construction projects in every city from Venice to Beverly Hills. Every day, these workers face intense dangers while on construction sites. Even with state and federally mandated safety rules, accidents may occur. Too frequently, construction accidents cause serious injury and death.
Frequent Causes
There are many different types of construction accidents in Brentwood and surrounding communities, and their causes may vary from equipment malfunction to poor supervision.
- Falls from improperly placed scaffolding can be extremely catastrophic and may lead to long-term health issues.
- Climbing ladders. Incorrect ladder set-up, inadequate inspection, and inappropriate use may cause these largely preventable accidents, and injured workers may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for medical bills and lost earnings.
- Power tools such as nail guns and power saws may malfunction or even cause amputation if there are maintenance issues or lack of training.
- Forklifts may lead to injury if they are poorly maintained or have damaged parts.
- Cranes placed on uneven surfaces or improperly set-up may lead to the collapse of equipment and tragic consequences.
- Often, workers must perform their job duties around or directly dealing with electric wiring and systems, which can be extremely dangerous.
