Houston Construction Site Injury Lawyer

Numerous variables come into play when workers suffer a construction zone injury. Traffic flow, safety signs, and the presence of law enforcement can all factor into a construction zone injury accident. Many construction zone injury accident cases involve other violations, including:

• Speeding drivers
• Distracted drivers
• Intoxicated drivers
• Multi-vehicle accidents
• Trapped workers
• Inadequate warning signs
• Poor visibility
• Lack of lighting
• Lack of safety barriers
• Poor traffic management

A report from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (https://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/wz/resources/facts_stats/injuries_fatalities.htm) showed that a road construction zone injury occurs more than 100 times a day, or once every 15 minutes. The report analyzed the sources of construction zone injury, which included:

• Equipment malfunctions
• Slips and falls
• Vehicle collisions
• Exposure to harmful chemicals
• Blunt force trauma from heavy objects

Workers suffered from a wide range of injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Lacerations
• Internal organ damage
• Muscle strains
• Joint sprains
• Lung damage
• Death

A report by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health examined the rising problem of fatal construction zone injury cases. The report showed that an average of 113 fatal construction zone injury accidents occurred each year from 2008 to 2013. From 2003 through 2013, Texas had 131 construction zone deaths, the most of any state. In 2013, more than 45 percent of all construction zone deaths involved a vehicle striking a pedestrian worker.
