Many construction workers are mindful of the fact that construction can be highly dangerous work. Accidents can happen in Dallas worksites even if they meet all local and national safety standards. If you are a construction worker that was injured in a job site fall, you should contact a Dallas personal injury attorney immediately.
A Dangerous Industry
Each year, hundreds of construction workers are killed on the job due to falls. Many others suffer short term and long injuries that can make it hard for them to return to work. The booming Texas and Dallas economy has led to calls for more workers. At the same time, there are still problems with serious dangers that workers face on the job each day. Too often, proper safety standards are not observed. David Michaels, head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has publicly stated that more construction workers actually die in the state of Texas than any other place in the United States.
Common Problems
Many problems can happen on the job. Electrocutions, being hit by an object on the job site, scaffolding accidents, equipment failure, and crane accidents are all common problems at many Dallas construction sites. Falls are particularly troublesome as they can lead to death or a serious injury that can end the construction worker’s career and make it difficult if not impossible for them to earn a living.

Many Questions
A worker may have all sorts of questions after a fall. The construction worker may want to know if they will get treatment for any emergency problem, as well as any chronic medical problems. Workers also worry that they will be overwhelmed with medical bills that continue to grow. A worker may be afraid of lost wages that can make it hard for them to pay bills such as a mortgage or provide for their families.
