KANSAS CITY CONSTRUCTION INJURY ATTORNEY
Some of the Kansas City's most important employees are those working in construction, and they are frequently injured.From buildings to children's playgrounds, those working in construction are responsible for the creation of many structures that we all benefit from.  Tens of millions of dollars, in salary/wages, are paid each year to those working in construction, and nearly two million people are self-employed/family workers. This represents one of the largest number of employees in any one field, in the United States. Unfortunately, with the importance of this profession also comes great risk. Construction related work is one of the most dangerous in the nation. 

Injuries
Injuries, while working in construction, happen all too often. Although there are strict safety guidelines for those in this field, injuries occur regularly. Typically, the tools, chemicals and/or the condition of the worksite, each are involved in incidents of injury. Some potential types of injuries, to name a few, include:
  • Falls from scaffolding, ladders, incomplete structures and rooftops
  • Electrocution from exposed wiring, causing burns, organ damage, and death
  • Chemical burns
  • Eye injuries and burns from welding
  • Being struck by or against machinery including cranes, lifts, and vehicles
  • Falls into trenching
  • Excessive noise, resulting in hearing loss (failing to offer / provide ear protection)
  • Struck by falling objects, tools, or equipment
The United States Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration reported, of 4,986 worker fatalities 20.5% were deaths of those who worked in construction (i.e. 1 in 5). Nearly 61% of the deaths reported were because of the "Fatal Four" incidents:
  • Falls (about 66 percent of falls involved roofs or ladders)
  • Electrocution 
  • Struck by object
  • Caught in/between (caught in or compressed by equipment or objects, and struck, caught or crushed in collapsing structure, equipment or material)
Falls are the number one cause of injury, in the construction industry, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Negligence
Negligence is when the other party falls short of their duty to you. In construction, there are a number of people that may owe a duty to you (ex. foreman, boss, manager, employer, supplier, vendor, etc...). A failure to ensure your safety by any of those owing you a duty represents a negligent act. Some instances of negligent behavior include:
  • Defective/faulty equipment
  • Improper equipment operation
  • Lack of safety railings
  • Lack of safety signage
  • Failure to properly train/inform
