You or a loved one may be suffering from serious harm as a result of a construction site accident. Many dangers exist in construction sites, including the risk of suffering crush injuries. These types of injuries are often life-altering or fatal.

In particular, commercial construction sites, where heavy machinery, scaffolding, and large materials are often used, create serious safety risks for workers. Attorney Dillon Hobbs understands the devastating impact that a crush injury may have on a construction worker's life and family. He is here to help victims pursue the compensation that they deserve. 

Hazards Leading to Crush Injuries on Construction Sites

Crush injuries on construction sites typically occur when a worker is caught between heavy equipment, machinery, or collapsing structures. Some common causes of crush injuries in commercial construction include:

• Heavy Equipment: Bulldozers, cranes, cement mixers, and other machinery can crush and seriously harm workers if proper safety procedures are not followed.
• Falling Objects: Tools, materials, or debris can fall from heights, striking workers below with significant force. 
• Collapsing Structures: Scaffolding, walls, or trenches may collapse. When this occurs, workers can be trapped and seriously injured. 
• Forklifts and Vehicles: Moving vehicles creates risks for nearby workers, such as being pinned or crushed by these vehicles. 

Such accidents can cause severe physical harm, including broken bones, internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or death. The financial and emotional burden may be overwhelming.
