Construction Injury Law Illinois
Personal injury law also includes injuries that occur on construction sites or other hazardous workplaces. Most accident occurring on construction sites may cover injured workers who receive worker’s compensation, regardless of fault. In addition, many construction accidents also may lead to personal injury claims against other responsible parties who are working on the job site.
As an example, most job sites have general and subcontractors. If a pipefitter sustains injury on a construction site as a result of negligence by another subcontractor or general contractor, the pipefitter will likely have the right to make two claims.

Falls, Slips, and Trips: These can occur from falling from heights, slipping or tripping on uneven surfaces, and being struck by falling objects or machinery.
Electrical Accidents: Electrocutions can happen due to improper installation of electrical systems or contact with live wires.
Struck by Objects or Caught Between Objects: Workers are at significant risk of injuries caused by being hit by heavy equipment or caught in between machinery, leading to crushing injuries.
Machinery Accidents: Heavy machinery like cranes, bulldozers, and excavators are often on construction sites and can be dangerous if not used properly. Machinery accidents may occur due to equipment malfunctions, operator errors, or insufficient training.
