About Miami Construction Accidents
Construction sites can be inherently dangerous places and very strict safety precautions must be adhered to. A moment's inattention or negligence of a co-worker could result in very severe injuries that could affect you for the rest of your life. The causes of construction accidents generally boil down to non-compliance with safety regulations and recklessness. The specifics can involve a slip or fall, malfunctioning equipment, poorly maintained machinery, scaffolding accidents, burns, gas explosions, exposure to toxic substances, falling objects, a roof cave-in and many others. The resultant injuries can mean a long and painful recovery which may prevent you from being able to work for some time. Additionally, the injury may leave you with limits in your mobility or an inability to perform at the level you could prior to the accident. Whether you foresee a battle with your employer or with an insurance agency, you need a legal representative on your side that you can trust to stand up for your best interests.
