Falls from Heights: Accidents involving scaffolding, ladders, or roofs are among the leading causes of injuries.
Struck by Falling Objects: Tools, equipment, or materials that are improperly secured can cause severe injuries.
Electrocution: Contact with exposed wires, power lines, or faulty equipment is a life-threatening hazard.
Caught-In or Between Accidents: Workers can become trapped by collapsing structures, equipment, vehicles, or machinery.
Machinery Accidents: Heavy equipment like cranes, forklifts, and bulldozers can cause crush or amputation injuries.
Explosions and Fires: Flammable materials or faulty gas lines can lead to catastrophic accidents.
Trench Collapses: Workers in improperly supported trenches face a significant risk of being buried or suffocated.
Exposure to Harmful Substances: Toxic chemicals, asbestos, or hazardous fumes can result in long-term health conditions.

Injuries sustained in construction accidents can be life-altering and leave the worker unable to work and earn a living or enjoy the quality of life they had before the incident. Some of the most common injuries include:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
Amputations

Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Mississippi

Severe construction accident injuries can lead to long-term medical care, surgeries, or the need for professional nursing for a lifetime. It is crucial to seek legal assistance after a workplace accident that caused severe or catastrophic injuries. The workers comp system in Mississippi protects injured workers and their employers, paying benefits to cover medical treatment and a portion of lost wages. The system restricts workers from filing a lawsuit against an employer. Depending on the facts of the accident, a third-party lawsuit could be filed against subcontractors on the site, utility providers, or other parties that have contributed to the accident.

Who is Liable in a Construction Accident?

Several parties may have created a dangerous workplace environment. Ensure you have the assistance of a construction accident injury lawyer to investigate the accident and identify all liable parties. Construction accidents may involve multiple parties, and determining liability can be complex. Responsible parties may include the following:

Construction Companies: If OSHA safety protocols are not maintained, or the construction firm supplies faulty safety equipment or fails to provide the required equipment.
Site Owners: Failing to ensure worker safety while on the premises.
Equipment Manufacturers: Cases involving defective machinery or tools that caused an injury.
Subcontractors: For acts of negligence when performing their specific roles on the construction site.
Vehicle Manufacturers: When a vehicle, such as a truck, crane, excavator, or other vehicle, fails due to faulty design or lack of maintenance.
Construction Site Equipment Leasing Firms: Many firms lease larger pieces of equipment. When one fails, injuring a worker, the leasing firm may be liable.
Utility Providers: If a utility provider has unsafely installed electrical equipment, the utility company may be liable for electrocution accidents and severe electrical burns.

At ‘Maggio Law, we conduct thorough investigations to identify all liable parties when seeking fair compensation for injured workers and their families in Mississippi.
