Top 4 Construction Accident Statistics | construction accident
Like any other working environment, those in the construction industry may experience work accidents from time to time. If the employee’s injury can be directly attributed to the mistakes of the employer, these accidents can lead to successful construction accident claims.
While making work accident claims can help many of those injured on construction sites, it is far better if employees and workers are made well aware of the dangers, and the correct procedures are put into place to prevent construction accidents from happening in the first place. This would lead to a reduction in construction accidents and fewer construction accident claims being made.

New York Construction Accident Lawyer from The Perecman Firm Comments on Crane ...
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 22, 2012
A crane cable snapped at the 4 World Trade Center construction site on Thursday morning, according to The New York Times (2/16/2012). As a result, steel construction beams plummeted 40 stories from the crane, which was perched atop the building and crushed a truck.
“This was clearly a serious New York construction accident , and it is very fortunate no-one was injured,” said David Perecman, the former head New York construction accident lawyer for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and a lecturer on construction accident law.
The crane had just lifted the load of beams out of the same truck, said The New York Times.
No one was injured in the downtown New York construction accident , not even the truck driver. One worker was evaluated at the scene but refused medical attention, reported The New York Times.
According to The Wall Street Journal (2/17/2012), the steel that fell weighed nearly 20 tons.
