Minnesota Construction Injury Lawyer | Construction Accident Attorneys
Minnesota workplace injuries frequently occur at construction sites. These construction accident injuries range from minor injuries with little time lost from work, to death. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Data, and the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, the following fatal construction site accidents have occurred:
| Year | Fatalities – United States | Fatalities – Minnesota |
| 2000 | 1,183 | 12 |
| 2001 | 1,264 | 17 |
| 2002 | NA | 15 |
| 2003 | 1,131 | 10 |
| 2004 | 1,234 | 16 |
| 2005 | 1,192 | 25 |
The Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Division (OSHA) frequently cites the construction industry for not complying with standards. In 2006, OSHA issued 296 citations for faulty “fall protection,” and 85 citations for a general “unsafe working conditions.” Unsafe working conditions at construction sites are often to blame for injuries. However, accidents occur regardless of whether the construction site is safe. Frequent causes of injuries at construction sites include the following:
- Slip and Falls
- Defective Machines
- Mechanical Problems
- Crane Accidents
- Hazardous or Toxic Material Exposure
- Scaffolding Accidents
- Electrocutions
- Falling Objects
If you suffer an injury while working at a construction site or on a construction project, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Contact an experienced Minnesota workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible after suffering an injury.
