Construction Accidents

Every day, scores of construction workers face dangerous working conditions in the Rochester area. Despite increased safety measures on construction sites, accidents still occur and studies indicate that more than 10 percent of all construction workers will lose time at work because of an injury on the job.

The pain and suffering caused by a devastating construction injury can have a lasting effect on the lives of the victims. Along with the physical pain they may have to endure, victims of construction accidents may also incur a life long condition that radically limits their ability to continue working in this field. Often, more serious injuries significantly alter the quality of life that victims have outside of work.
