Construction is one of the most perilous industries when it comes to personal injury. With the existence of uneven surfaces, heavy objects being transported on the ground and overhead, dangerous walkways, and the extensive use of heavy machinery, construction site accidents occur numerous times a day all across the country. 

Countless safety rules and regulations are put in place in an effort to prevent such injuries, many of which are catastrophic in nature, but even careful and wary employees can be victims of construction accidents. If the employee is not at fault for causing the accident, an Atlanta workers' comp attorney could help them file for workers' compensation and get the compensation they need to cover their expensive medical treatments.

Types of Injuries Caused by Construction Site Accidents

Personal injuries of any kind can be classified as either non-catastrophic or catastrophic. Non-catastrophic injuries are those that cause no severe or permanent damage to the victim. Examples include:

• Cuts
• Abrasions
• Broken bones
• Minor burns
• And more.

However, catastrophic injuries are not uncommon in construction zones. Traumatic brain injuries can be caused by slip and fall accidents, low obstructions, or falling objects. Spinal cord injuries can be caused by such incidents, as well, especially slips and falls or incidents where objects fall and crush the worker. Any of these accidents can be devastating or permanently debilitating, so make sure to learn what legal options are available to you before it is too late.
