The Danger of Construction Accidents in California
Construction is one of the most hazardous industries in the country. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, there were 5,283 fatal work injuries recorded in the United States in 2023. The construction industry consistently accounts for roughly 20% of all workplace fatalities each year. Riverside has seen significant residential and commercial growth in recent years, which means more active work sites and more opportunities for dangerous conditions to arise.
Common Causes of Construction Site Injuries
Injuries on construction sites can occur for many reasons including falls from heights, electrocution, struck-by accidents involving heavy equipment or falling materials, and caught-in or caught-between incidents involving machinery. Our attorneys work with investigators to determine exactly what went wrong and who bears responsibility.
