Construction Accident Lawyer in Memphis

Due to the use of hazardous materials, large machinery, and the nature of the construction industry, many construction sites are dangerous for crews, bystanders, and rescuers. While some construction accidents are a result of an inherently dangerous workplace, many are caused by the negligence or recklessness of another individual. Accidents such as these typically occur because the contractor, landlord, construction company or worker did not take the necessary safety precautions. Construction accidents resulting from negligence or recklessness include:

• Safety regulation violations
• Negligence
• Defective materials
• Lack of safety equipment
• Badly maintained equipment
• Lack of quality supervision
• Improper signage
• Lack of safety training

These violations oftentimes lead to serious accidents like scaffolding collapse, roof falls, crane accidents, electrical shocks, fires and explosion, as well as other potentially severe mishaps. Most of these accidents can be extremely serious, leading to debilitating injuries, long-term health problems, and even death.

Legal recourse may be available to employees or bystanders who were injured as the result of a construction.
