Construction Accident Injuries
Indiana Construction Accident Attorneys
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics studies the relative safety of various occupations in the country each year, more people die working in private construction than in any other industry, and the injury counts are much higher.
Anyone who has worked construction knows that construction sites provide extremely dangerous working conditions: the nature of the work itself carries a high risk of injury, and the workplace is filled with hazards: high scaffolds, toxic chemicals, live electrical wiring, and dangerous machinery are commonplace on any construction site.
Construction site accidents and workplace deaths have a number of causes: the mistakes of other workers, defective machinery, faulty equipment, and the inherently dangerous conditions of a project in the process of being built. Workers fall from scaffolding; they're injured on faulty forklifts, material loads (lumber or bricks) can crush limbs as they fall; electrocution can result from a variety of devices or open wiring; welding rods can cause severe burns and blindness.
The Indiana / Illinois injury firm of Kenneth J. Allen & Associates approaches every construction work injury cases with one fundamental understanding -- NO employee should ever be faced with the decision, “Should I do the job as asked, in a way that is not safe, or should I go home, risking my paycheck if not my job?” And yet, each day across the United States, this is exactly the false choice employees are given.
Firm founder Ken Allen was born in Gary, Indiana, a few miles from a steel mill. Almost everyone he knew worked there, and during summers, so did he. To this day, Mr. Allen remains a 25-year member of the Carpenter’s Union. He’s a former union teamster and railroad track laborer. Helping injured workers, especially construction workers, is one of the firm’s most passionate efforts.
