Fighting for Injured Workers and Bystanders in Construction Accidents

Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces, with heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and high-risk conditions. Whether you are a construction worker, contractor, or passerby, accidents on or near construction sites can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities. If you or a loved one has been injured due to unsafe working conditions, equipment failure, or negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

At Pyramid Legal, we fight to hold construction companies, contractors, and property owners accountable for unsafe conditions that cause harm.

Understanding Construction Accidents and Your Legal Rights

Construction companies, site managers, and property owners have a legal duty to maintain a safe work environment and follow state and federal safety regulations. When they fail to enforce safety measures, provide proper training, or maintain equipment, serious accidents can occur.

At Pyramid Legal, we investigate workplace safety violations and fight to protect the rights of injured workers and bystanders, ensuring they receive full compensation for their losses.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents often occur due to negligence, lack of safety protocols, or defective equipment, including:

  • Falls from Heights
    Unsafe scaffolding, ladders, and platforms lead to serious fall-related injuries.

  • Electrocutions
    Exposed wiring, defective power tools, and improper grounding cause deadly shocks.

  • Falling Objects
    Unsecured tools and debris can strike workers or pedestrians, causing head trauma.

  • Machinery Malfunctions
    Heavy equipment failures result in crushing injuries or amputations.

  • Fires and Explosions
    Flammable materials, faulty gas lines, and exposed electrical wiring create fire hazards.

  • Lack of Proper Safety Equipment
    Employers must provide helmets, harnesses, gloves, and protective gear to prevent injuries.

If you were injured due to unsafe construction site conditions, Pyramid Legal is ready to fight for your rights.

Injuries Resulting from Construction Accidents

Construction site injuries can be life-threatening and often require long-term medical care, including:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
    Severe head trauma can cause permanent cognitive and motor impairments.

  • Spinal Cord Injuries
    Falls and equipment accidents can lead to paralysis or chronic pain.

  • Burns and Chemical Exposure
    Fires, explosions, and toxic substances cause serious skin and lung damage.

  • Crush Injuries and Amputations
    Heavy machinery can result in loss of limbs or permanent disabilities.

  • Broken Bones and Fractures
    Scaffolding collapses and falls often lead to complex fractures requiring surgery.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries on a construction site, seeking immediate medical attention and legal help is crucial.
