Construction sites, work zones, construction vehicles, and heavy equipment are rife with potential dangers that might lead to serious injuries or result in fatalities. That can make construction areas hazardous locations for the men and women who work in them and for passersby, passenger vehicle occupants, and others in and around these locations.

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) research reported 158 fatal work injuries in Ohio in 2018. The injuries you incur in a construction accident can have far-reaching physical and financial repercussions. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) data identifies the following ways injuries commonly occur in the construction industry:

Being struck by objects or equipment in motion
Being caught in or lodged between equipment
Sustaining dangerous electrical hazards or burns

If you are ready to seek monetary recovery for your injuries, recoup the cost of your income losses, and explore your potential range of recoverable expenses, a Cincinnati construction accident lawyer might be able to help you explore your compensation options.

Safety Violations That Lead to Construction Accidents

OSHA regulations strive to ensure safe working conditions for construction site employees by establishing safety guidelines and performing regular inspections. When these safety standards are violated, worker protections might be placed in jeopardy. According to OSHA research, the most frequently cited violations may include:

Inadequate communication about potential hazards
Faulty scaffolding and other equipment failures
Lack of hazardous energy control
Deficient, eye, face, and respiratory protection
Poor industrial truck, machinery, and machine guards

If your construction accident injuries were the result of a safety violation, you might qualify for financial recovery by filing a personal injury lawsuit. You may also qualify for compensation if your injuries resulted from faulty or faulty equipment. Uncovering the safety violations, worker errors, equipment failures, or other factors that contributed to your construction accident may help prove its cause. It might also help identify the party who bears liability for the cost of your injuries and resulting expenses.

Accident- and Injury-Related Construction Accident Statistics

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) research into the physical and financial impact of construction accidents puts the number of construction industry employees in 2017 at approximately 10.7 million. While the number of workers represented less than 7 percent of the total workforce, the construction industry accounted for nearly 20% of workplace fatalities.

CDC research also reports traumatic brain injuries (TBI) as a common injury suffered by construction workers. TBI can lead to severe physical impairments, significant treatment costs, and substantial losses of income. If you sustained a TBI, broken bones, electrical shock, severe burn, or other injury as the result of a construction accident, we might be able to help you recover from the financial impact of your physical injuries.

You might be able to recoup the financial damages of a construction accident with a personal injury lawsuit. A member of our legal team may listen to the circumstances surrounding your accident, examine your medical records, and assess any other forms of proof that help establish your right to financial recovery.

Do Not Wait to File Your Compensation Lawsuit

The city of Cincinnati is governed by Ohio’s statute of limitations. Accordingly, when you are injured in a construction accident, you generally have two years to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10. If you attempt to file your lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired, one of two things may happen:

You might not be allowed to file your lawsuit at all
Your lawsuit may be dismissed without being heard

The sooner you involve our team in your potential lawsuit, the more time we have to comply with the filing deadline. The statute of limitations might change according to the age of injured parties or if the at-fault party is a governmental party. If these or any other circumstances of your lawsuit alter its timeline, our team will explain the correct timeline and how it may impact your lawsuit.

When we looked into seeking representation after my son's car accident we did not know anybody who had experience with as an attorney with car wrecks. So we looked online at all the firms that specialize in auto accidents, then by using as our criteria the reviews we selected The Fitch Law firm. Right from the start they were extremely helpful . They explained how the process would go based on our specifics of the accident and then basically did all the work to file a claim and get all that we were entitled to. Working with Becky and Kirstin was perfect, they kept us informed every step of the way and if we had questions they had time to explain them making sure we understood each time. Our case was not a high dollar amount but they still offered above average service and looked out for us like it was. I highly recommend The Fitch Law firm without hesitation.

Our experience with the Fitch Law Firm was incredible. We worked with Kirstin, and she's really gone above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. After our car accident, we were so overwhelmed by the insurance companies, and Kirstin made everything so easy for us. We never would have gotten such a good settlement without her. They seem to really care about their clients, and they are very responsive. They worked hard to answer our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.

I was involved in an accident as the passenger of the responsible party during Feb. of 2020. I completed physical therapy in June of the same year. I worked with a firm that was not as responsive as I would have liked, so I sought representation elsewhere to ensure the claim was handled correctly. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to task The Fitch Law Firm with this case. Associate attorney Kirstin Peterson was assigned to my case, and I couldn’t have asked for someone so thorough, professional, responsive and down right genuinely caring than her. There were some unforeseen obstacles, but throughout my doubts she maintained consistent in reassuring me she was doing everything she could to make sure things were going as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend this firm and having nothing but more than positive things to say about the associate attorney assigned to my case. Thank you so much Fitch Law Firm, and Kirstin Peterson. You guys are extraordinary in what you do!

I was in a car accident on 10/21/2018 that was not my fault. I googled different accident laywers. And came across the fitch law firm. From the first time i walked thru the doors mr fitch and becky made me feel at ease. Mr fitch thought my case woukd be good to take on. The other parties insurance was extremely difficult to deal with.and i can say mr fitch represented me well. And Becky checked in on me and kept me updated on the case. Its been 2 years and my case finally settled i was ok with the amount given. And i will use the fitch law firm again if ever needed.
