Construction Accidents Can Cause Catastrophic Or Fatal Injuries

Construction sites present many hazards to workers and bystanders. In one recent year, there were nearly 775 fatalities at construction sites and more than one-third of them involved fatal falls. There simply are not enough safety regulators to identify and prevent hazards from falls off ladders, scaffolds and roofs.

Our firm has been helping injured Illinois workers for more than a decade. We thoroughly understand the regulations, statutes, ordinances and industry standards that mandate a safe working environment for construction workers and others at construction sites.
