Construction zones are one of the most dangerous job sites in America. They are replete with hazards that lend themselves to accidents and injuries. To illustrate the frequency and severity of construction zone danger, more than 1,000 construction workers lost their lives in job-related accidents in 2003. Furthermore, for every ten work accidents that result in death, at least one took place in the construction industry.
Hazardous Conditions to Avoid
In the realm of construction work, there are many hazards that can – and should – be prevented. However, in practice, many of them are carelessly overlooked and employees are allowed to work under highly dangerous conditions.
You have the legal right to take action against a construction accident that involved a fire, explosion, electric shock, faulty machinery, or exposure to toxic chemicals. It is the first step to fighting for your rights. Unfortunately, some victims of construction accidents do not take action because they are unaware of their rights. If you were injured in a construction accident that caused you physical harm or emotional trauma, you are legally entitled to seek compensation for your pain and suffering. You can pursue that with a Corpus Christi personal injury attorney.

When the parties who own and operate construction zones act negligently, they need to be held accountable for their actions. For example, construction zones need to be inspected, well-designed, and well-marked. Furthermore, they must adhere to safety codes and have safe materials. All employees and visitors of construction sites must be made aware of dangerous conditions. Any behavior that is unacceptable or dangerous deserves to be brought to the attention of a legal professional. Together, with an experienced Corpus Christi accident attorney, you can work to hold the responsible party accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve as a victim of a construction accident.
