Pittsburgh Construction Attorneys
Keeping workers safe while they work should be an employer’s first priority. Safety is not an option; it is a necessity and a legal requirement. When an employer cuts safety corners, particularly in the industrial or construction setting, catastrophic accidents can result, causing devastating personal injury and even wrongful death. If you are an industrial employee or construction worker who has suffered a work-related injury, or if you have lost a loved one in an industrial accident, you may be entitled to compensation. You need an experienced attorney on your side to help protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve. At Raizman Frischman & Matzus, P.C., our attorneys have considerable experience handling all types of construction and industrial accidents, gas and oil well explosions, fire and electrical accidents. We know the safety rules that should have been followed, and we demand justice on behalf of injured workers. Don’t let your injuries go uncompensated; enlist the help of lawyers today.
Common Causes of Construction and Industrial Accidents
Some of the most common construction accidents and industrial accidents involve falling objects and moving equipment that strike workers and workers who fall on the job. The Center for Disease Control reports that, between 1995 and 1999, the most common causes of construction-related fatalities were falls (33 percent), transportation accidents (20 percent), contact with falling or moving objects (19 percent), and exposure to harmful substances (17 percent). Other causes of on-the-job construction injuries include gas and oil explosions, well drilling accidents, and equipment or machinery malfunction. When these accidents are preventable – if they occur because of the failure to maintain a safe working environment or because of a product manufacturer or designer’s negligence – the injured may have grounds for filing a product liability or construction accident lawsuit.

Injuries Caused by Construction and Industrial Accidents
One of the most common types of workplace injury is a traumatic brain injury, which can occur when a worker is struck in the head by a falling object or piece of equipment. Additionally, many workers suffer needless spinal cord injuries (including quadriplegia and paraplegia and other paralysis) when safe and effective fall protection systems fail, or are not in place to begin with. Other common injuries include broken bones, burns, and electrocutions. It is important to note that, whether an employee’s injury is relatively minor or catastrophic, he or she may file a work-related injuries or product liability lawsuit to obtain damages.
