Carpenter Personal Injury

Carpentry workers make up the largest percentage of construction industry employees. They are involved in a wide range of activities, including the construction, installation, repair, and remodeling of wooden structures and fixtures. Their employers are responsible for following safety regulations during each of these activities and ensuring that each worker has undergone adequate formal safety training. However, when employers or even equipment manufacturers fail to do so, it can result in serious work-related injuries for carpenters.

Roofer Personal Injury

Ironworker and carpenter accidents are not the only causes of serious injuries that can occur at a construction site. Roofers also face a major risk of suffering severe injuries or wrongful death from slip-and-fall accidents from falling objects while not using proper safety equipment. Roofer injuries can be more severe than ironworker and carpenter injuries and may result in permanent, life-changing disabilities that can prevent the victim from ever being able to return to work.

Fortunately, there are laws designed to protect roofers and other construction workers should they fall or be injured by a falling object. In addition to receiving workers’ compensation, the law provides that roofers may receive financial damages for pain and permanent injury if part of the responsibility rests with an employer, general contractor or building owner for failing to provide proper safety equipment.

Ironworker Personal Injury

Ironworkers perform important tasks at construction sites, erecting and installing steel beams to create the frameworks for commercial and residential buildings. Since their work involves much climbing and balancing in high places, ironworkers use safety devices such as nets and scaffolds for protection. Yet despite these attempts at increasing safety, ironworkers face a high risk of suffering severe work-related injuries. In fact, an ironworker is the most likely in the trade occupations to become injured on a construction site.
