Workers’ compensation is important for employees of all kind, but when talking about workers’ compensation, construction workers are likely to pop up in the conversation if not dominate the conversation altogether. This is because construction workers face high risks and serious danger on a more constant basis than most workers, and construction worker injuries tend to be much more serious…
We often talk about construction worker accidents and explain how construction workers are sometimes at risk for injuries that they may not know about. This is usually due to unexpected or unforeseen circumstances, and construction workers can take advantage of workers’ compensationn benefits for their injuries. But sometimes people are well aware of the risks and simply ignore them, and…
We often talk about how important workers’ compensation benefits are for construction workers in particular due to the high-risk nature of the construction industry. Construction workers often work in dangerous environments with many risk factors, such as extreme heights and heavy machinery. Obviously this means that the slightest accident or misstep could result in serious injuries. While it is fortunate…
In most instances where we discuss construction worker accidents, we are referring to lower-ranking construction workers who make their living doing the hard, hands-on labor of construction projects. However, the construction industry is dangerous for nearly everyone involved, including the managers and owners. It is a simple result of how dangerous construction sites are that anyone who is working on…
We often talk about how construction workers face more occupational hazards than the average worker, but to those who are not familiar with the construction industry, such a claim can seem like an exaggeration.

It truly cannot be overstated just how dangerous the job of a construction worker is. Every job comes with some risk of injury, but there are few jobs in which the risk of injury is so great considering how many elements are beyond the workers’ control.

Every job comes with its share of risks and dangers, but few jobs have more inherent danger than those of construction workers. The very nature of construction work is to operate large machines and heavy tools in high places, putting workers in potentially dangerous circumstances.

Many dangers exist in construction work in New York and in any location construction work takes place, given the nature of the tools and the type of jobs construction workers do.

A New York construction worker was killed in a tragic accident at a car dealership recently when part of a concrete ceiling collapsed and buried him under debris. Partitions of the Staten Island building’s interior were being demolished, which likely contributed to the building’s weakened structural integrity. The victim was working with three others, all of whom were able to…
Few places are more dangerous for construction workers than New York City. The high population density means that streets and sidewalks are always busy; the winters are extremely cold, which can impair motor functions, and perhaps most notably, the only place to build is up. The high number of skyscrapers in New York often means that even the most insignificant…
It may not be obvious to some, but construction is one of the most dangerous occupations out there. On a daily basis, construction workers are surrounded by large machines and heavy objects, and the slightest malfunction or mistake could result in serious injury or death.
