Construction Accidents and Defective Heavy Equipment
Construction accidents are devastating due to the severity of their injuries on those present on the site. Construction sites are extremely hazardous; they are even more so when safety protocols are not thoroughly followed or when equipment does not function properly. When heavy equipment is defective or malfunctions and a construction worker is injured or killed; as a result, any or all parties involved in the design, manufacturing, or marketing of that piece of equipment may be held liable. Construction Equipment Commonly Involved in Product Liability Cases Nearly any type of heavy equipment used in construction can be the subject of a product liability case, as long as the construction worker injured by the equipment was using it for its intended purpose at the time of the accident. Common types of heavy construction equipment that might be defective include: Bulldozers Excavators Pavers Pile drivers Backhoe loaders Track loaders Cherry pickers Cranes Forklifts Drilling machines Tractors Harvesters Material handlers Dump trucks Wheel dozers Articulated haulers Steam shovels Graders Pipelayers Skid loaders Compactors A flaw in any machinery or equipment can be dangerous; however, these types of heavy equipment rely on the absolute precision of their parts to be as safe as possible. Any defects in their parts can lead to catastrophic injuries and even deaths, although everyone might have followed the strictest safety protocols. The Doctrine of Strict Liability in Defective Product Cases In many construction accidents, injured victims and their families are limited in their rights to seek damages by workers’ compensation laws. However, when third parties such as manufacturers become involved, the rights of workers expand considerably. In defective product cases, the victims’ rights expand even further as the doctrine of strict products liability comes into play. According to this doctrine, it is unnecessary to provide evidence of a specific act of negligence of the designer, manufacturer, or other parties responsible. The defect that caused the injury to the construction worker who used the defective piece of heavy equipment – the flaw is evidenced enough of that negligence. What our lawyers must show is that: The design, manufacturing, or marketing defect did, indeed, exist and could not possibly have been foreseen by a reasonable person; The equipment was being used for its proper and intended use by a worker trained, skilled, and approved to use it; The design, manufacturing, or marketing was defective, causing the accident. The worker operating the equipment and other people in the vicinity of that piece of equipment was injured as a result of the accident; Therefore, the party or parties involved with the design, manufacturing, and marketing of the equipment are liable for damages resulting from the accident.

What Are the Most Dangerous Types of Construction Accidents?
Construction sites come with several hazardous risks, so employers have the responsibility of providing a safe work environment for their employees. One in five workplace fatalities take place in a construction site, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA has identified the most dangerous accidents that can result in the death of a construction worker, known as the “fatal four.” Learn more about the fatal four in today’s blog. What Are the Fatal Four Accidents? According to OSHA, the following accidents account for approximately 65 percent of all injuries and deaths in the construction industry: Number One: Falls: Falls are the most common cause of death in construction sites. Number Two: Struck by an object: This type of accident generally occurs when a worker doesn’t follow safety protocols. Number Three: Electrocutions: Electrocutions can cause severe injuries, resulting in months or years of rehabilitation. Number Four: Caught in or between: This type of accident usually involves a piece of equipment or a falling structure that strikes or crushes a worker. We recommend both employers and employees to abide by the following protection guidelines. Best Practices for Fall Safety To keep employees safe from falls, employers should do the following: Offer mandatory job hazard and safety training via video Select adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and provide it to employees for free Cover floor holes where workers might accidentally fall Install toe boards and guard rails around elevated platforms and other walking paths Install guard rails around all machinery that a worker might bump into Incorporate lines, nets, harnesses, railings, and additional fall protection that’s appropriate for the job Make sure floors are always clean Best Practices for Struck-By-Object Safety Here’s how employees can remain safe when it comes to struck-by-object safety: Provide training to vehicle operators in clear, concise language Maintain a workplace where employees never find themselves between moving or fixed objects Provide PPE, such as high-visibility gloves and attire, for those working with heavy equipment Best Practices for Electrocution Safety Companies can do the following to keep their workers safe from electrocution: Provide proper electrical safety classes that focus on lockout/tag-out procedures Select adequate PPE, such as insulated gloves, and give it to employees at no cost Remember to power down electrical tools, machinery, and other dangerous electrical equipment when not in use Identify and label all electrical hazards Best Practices to Prevent Caught-In Object Accidents Make sure to implement the following guidelines to keep workers safe from caught-in object accidents: Maintain full awareness of moving equipment Never wear jewelry, loose clothing, or let your hair down around machinery Secure machinery to prevent it from falling Never transport unstable loads Reinforce trenches to avoid collapse Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton is Here for You Every employer owes their employees a duty of care to ensure they stay safe on the job.

Is Construction Work The Most Dangerous Industry?
Construction work is an inherently dangerous business. Each year, thousands of workers end up with severe or fatal injuries. Even a minor incident, such as forgetting to clean up a spill, can result in a broken back or fractured ribs. Discover the hazards of working in the construction industry. What Makes Construction Work Hazardous? The construction industry is infamous for being one of the most dangerous fields to work in. One out of every five workplace fatalities is construction-related, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Furthermore, this type of work also results in thousands of non-fatal injuries that cost companies millions each year. Continue reading to learn about the most common construction-related injuries. Common Construction-Related Injuries Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry because employees usually work from great heights. Other hazards include: Cave-ins Collapsing trenches Electric shock Strikes by falling objects Fires and explosions Respiratory issues as a result of inhaling debris Back injuries due to heavy lifting Skin diseases resulting from sun exposure and handling hazardous waste Hearing loss from long-term exposure to noisy machinery Repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome Construction Worker Fatality Statistics Out of all worker deaths in 2018, construction, transportation, and material moving workers accounted for 47 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The four leading causes of construction worker fatalities are: falls, electrocution, being struck by an object, and getting caught in between two large objects. These accidents are known as the “fatal four,” and they’re responsible for 60 percent of construction worker deaths, according to OSHA. Of all industries, construction experiences most fatal falls, accounting for 51 percent of all falls in the U.S., according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Companies with less than ten employees and those who are self-employed account for half of all deaths on construction sites, according to the CDC. In the span of a 45-year career, there’s a 1 in 200 chance a construction worker will die from an accident in the workplace, according to Safety & Health Magazine. Non-Fatal Injury Statistics One in every ten construction workers is injured each year, according to OSHA. Approximately half of the severe workplace injuries go unreported every year. Heavy lifting is the leading cause of strain injuries in construction, according to the Center for Construction Research and Training. Workers who are between the ages of 25-34 are most likely to experience injuries, according to LaborPress. What Should Construction Companies Do to Protect Workers? Construction companies have a duty of care to provide safety and health training to their employees. Additionally, they must conduct regular inspections and update equipment as needed. Although these steps don’t adequately protect workers, they eliminate most of the hazards associated with falls, electrocution, and falling objects; this can save thousands of lives each year. Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton Is Here for You If you or a loved one were injured in a construction accident, you might be eligible for workers’ compensation. Unfortunately, the employer’s insurance company may try to minimize your injury, usually resulting in less compensation than you need.

Construction Accidents and Cranes
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that there are 125,000 cranes operating in the American construction industry. This equipment is essential for major construction projects, yet the dangers they pose to workers and bystanders can be significant. Construction accidents involving cranes can lead to catastrophic injuries and fatalities given the size and nature of this equipment. The Provo, UT lawyers of Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton would like to consider the hazards posed by construction cranes and how we can help the victims and loved ones of these kinds of accidents. Statistics on Crane Accidents According to numbers from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), there have been 220 fatal crane accidents between the years of 2011 and 2015. By year, there were 37 crane fatalities in 2011, 47 in 2012, 43 in 2013, 48 in 2014, and 45 in 2015. Of all fatal accidents, 42 percent occurred in the private construction industry. Being struck by an object carried by the crane or struck by crane equipment itself was the most common cause of fatal injuries (112 fatalities between 2011 and 2015). Transportation incidents involving cranes and falls were the two other common causes of fatal injury between 2011 and 2015, each linked to 30 deaths. Finally, we want to note that in 22 percent of fatal accidents, the crane operator was killed; in another 22 percent of fatal accident, a worker performing tasks around the area of the crane was killed. Types of Accidents That May Occur There are numerous types of situations that result in crane accidents. OSHA notes that some of the most common reasons for crane accidents include: Mechanical failures Rigging failures Dropping heavy objects Striking employees and workers Striking building or other structures Overturning cranes Overloading cranes Colliding with power lines Boom collapses Using wrong type of crane Debris around the crane Poor weather Injuries Sustained in Crane Accidents The injuries that may be sustained in a crane accident can be severe. Even if a person survives a crane accident, they may suffer from severe head trauma, brain injuries, brain damage, neck and spinal cord injuries, broken bones, paralysis, and the loss of a limb. These injuries can have lasting impact on mobility, general wellness, and one’s ability to perform simple tasks each day. Crane accident injuries could impact your ability to perform your job again, and force you to change your career to accommodate your injuries. This could also mean years of costly medical care and physical rehabilitation. Determining Who Is Liable in a Crane Accident Liability in a crane accident can vary. If working conditions were unsafe, the people running the construction company may be held liable for putting workers at risk. Cranes themselves may be faulty to to design or manufacturing problems, which means the companies who made the cranes could be liable. It’s important that our lawyers consider all of the evidence in a crane accident. By determine the root cause or causes of the incident, liability can be established and negligent parties can be held accountable.

Construction Accidents and Broken Bones
Working in construction can be dangerous. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), construction is one of the deadliest and most dangerous industries to work in. Of the 4,693 worker fatalities recorded in 2016, 991 were in construction. That’s 22.1 percent of all deaths. This is why construction accidents that lead to catastrophic injury or fatalities should be looked over by skilled attorneys like the team at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton. Even when construction accidents don’t cause fatalities, they can still result in debilitating harm. The team at our Provo, UT law office would like to consider how construction accidents can cause to bone fractures. We’ll then note what legal options injured workers and their loved ones can consider. Types of Bone Fractures Bone fractures come in different forms. The most common kinds that people experience are as follows: Stable Fracture – This is when a bone is broken, but the ends of the bone remain generally in their proper position. Open/Compound Fracture – This serious kind of fracture occurs when the bone is severely out of position, with the bone fragment visible through the skin. In some cases, the bone even protrudes through the skin. Transverse Fracture – This is when the bone is broken along a straight, horizontal fracture line. Oblique Fracture – This is when the bone is broken along an angled fracture line. Comminuted Fracture – This is when the bone is fragmented into three or more pieces. OSHA’s Fatal Four Given the many dangers at construction sites, OSHA has listed a so-called “Fatal Four,” referring to the leading causes of injury and death in the construction industry. These four kinds of accidents are as follows: Falls Struck by object Electrocutions Caught-in or crushed between objects You’ll note that three of the fatal four can also result in broken bones, along with many other injuries. Recovering from Broken Bones Recovering from a bone fracture can take weeks or even months. Stable fractures will heal faster and require less invasive treatment than compound fractures. Surgery may be necessary to set the fractured bone properly and to repair any damaged tissues related to the fracture. Physical therapy and other long-term rehabilitation treatment could be required as part of a person’s recovery. Will Fractures Impact Future Wellness and Work? Just because the bone has healed doesn’t mean you’re back to business as usual. Bone fractures can have serious long-term impact on the way you move, your ability to accomplish certain tasks at home and on the job, and your general mobility. This is particularly true of fractures to the vertebrae, the hands, the hips, and the knees. How Worker’s Compensation Works Following an on-the-job injury, many construction workers apply for worker’s compensation benefits. These benefits help cover living expenses, medical care related to an accident/injury, and even rehabilitation and training for new careers in the case of disability. If you are denied your benefits or need help with the application process, our lawyers are here to assist you. When Should I Consider an Injury or Negligence Lawsuit? While worker’s compensation benefits are helpful, sometimes it’s more ideal to seek legal action against the negligent party that caused the accident. This is important when there were dangerous conditions at the work site that contributed to the accident and fracture. Determining which option is better requires years of legal experience and a knowledge of the law. Our attorneys can advise you on the ideal option to consider following an on-the-job injury. Sometimes it may be better to forego worker’s compensation and seek damages from a negligent employer or reckless third-party. We’ll help you weigh those options carefully. Contact Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton For more information about your legal rights and options after a serious injury, be sure to contact our team of injury accident lawyers.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Long-Term Disability
When an injury keep you from working, you have a few options for help. Both workers’ compensation and long-term disability insurance can cover wage loss and other costs of living. While there are many benefits to workers’ compensation and long-term disability, there are important differences to note regarding coverage. The Provo, UT attorneys of Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton would like to compare workers’ compensation and long-term disability so you understand your options following an injury. About Workers’ Compensation Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance carried by employers that protect their employees following an on-the-job-injury. If you are injured while on the job, workers’ compensation will take care of wage loss during the time of your injury. About Long-Term Disability Long-term disability is a type of insurance that covers part of your wages or salary if you are unable to work as a result of an injury or illness. Long-term disability typically does not cover injuries or illnesses sustained while you are on the job. The Benefits of Workers’ Compensation Workers’ compensation benefits you receive are tax-free, and they often take into account medical care you require and are receiving. Some workers’ compensation plans will also assist with vocational rehabilitation, education, or retraining to help injured workers re-enter the workforce. The Benefits of Long-Term Disability Long-term disability benefits are ideal if you have suffered an injury outside of the workplace that prevent you from working at your job. Your employer is not involved with these benefits since they cover non-work-related issues. When Workers’ Compensation Is More Ideal Workers’ compensation is more ideal when you are unable to work due to an injury that was sustained at your workplace. Rather than pursuing a legal action against your employer, the workers’ compensation benefits are guaranteed to cover the loss of some wages. When Long-Term Disability Is More Ideal Long-term disability is more ideal when you are injured or suffer an illness outside of your workplace. While the amount of benefits received may not be the same as workers’ compensation, it is still helpful in covering lost wages due to the inability to work. Can I Apply for Both Benefits Simultaneously? Since long-term disability insurance does not cover on-the-job injuries and workers’ compensation benefits only covers on-the-job injuries, the answer is typically no. There may be some rare instances in which a person is eligible for both. This depends on a number of factors depending on your situation and the nature of your injury or illness. How Our Lawyers Can Help As you can imagine, both workers’ compensation and long-term disability matters can be complicated. In fact, sometimes the complication has everything to do with the nature of your injury or illness and its exact cause. Our lawyers can hear your side of the story and discuss your best options moving forward. Sometimes we may advise against seeking workers’ compensation and instead suggest legal action against the negligent party responsible for your injuries. Only an experienced attorney can offer sound advice regarding these matters.

Falling Objects at Construction Sites Can Cause Major Head Injuries
The legal team at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton had a strong commitment to injury victims throughout the greater Provo area. We believe that the injured and their loved ones deserve strong legal advocates who will work with them to achieve justice. This is especially important when it comes to construction accidents that cause serious injuries to workers or civilians. In many of these cases, the injuries could have been prevented with a little more caution. Some of the biggest dangers at construction sites come from above. By that we mean objects that fall from buildings or scaffolding. Given the dangers they pose, we’d like to explore the matter in more detail right now. The Dangers of Falling Objects When objects fall, the injuries they can cause can be extremely serious. These kinds of injuries are especially serious at constitution sites. Whenever working on roofs or on scaffolds, or even when working from a higher floor of a building or a cherry picker, an object may drop and cause serious harm in the process. Large items such as major power tools, cranes, and building materials (e.g., bricks, boards, beams, girders) can lead to major injuries. Yet even much smaller objects can cause significant harm when they fall. A simple claw hammer or crescent wrench, for example, gains a tremendous amount of force when falling from just a few feet up. As these objects strike people below, they can cause serious head trauma and even lasting brain injuries. Brain Injuries Can Have Long-Term Repercussions Brain damage and trauma to the head should never be taken lightly. Major brain injuries can have lasting results, causing people to experience concussions as well as impairment of their cognitive abilities and motor skills. A person’s life can literally be changed forever because of an object striking them in the head unexpectedly. This is why safety measures must be noted at all times. Head Protection Is Crucial People who work at construction sites should wear head protection at all times, particularly when there is a very real danger of falling objects. A simple hard hat can mean the difference between life and death in some cases. At the very lead, a hard hat can prevent severe brain injuries and head trauma, which means an accident victim will not experience the worst potential injuries following an incident. Practicing Proper Safety at Work Sites In addition to wearing hard hats, workers should practice common sense safety when working from any sort of height. Large objects and small objects should be kept away from ledges where they can fall and do harm. Items that can be secured to prevent falling below ought to be secured. These basic means of preventing injuries can protect all people at the work site. Protecting Bystanders and Civilians It’s also imperative that precautions be taken to prevent injuries to civilians. Falling objects can seriously harm non-workers who are passing by a construction site. These falling items may strike them in the head directly, leading to major harm. All potential hazards ought to be kept well away from any areas commonly traversed by pedestrians. When a hazard is present, workers should clear the area from pedestrians until the item is secured and cannot pose a potential source of injury.

When another person or party has caused an accident, you need skilled lawyers such as those at our law firm to help in the legal battle ahead. This is particularly true with regard to industrial workplace and construction accidents. Construction companies have skilled legal teams in place, and going it alone can be extremely difficult.

The Dangers of Electrical Injuries The National Institution of Health estimates that up to 1,000 people die each year as a result of electrical injuries, with thousands and thousands more serious injured. OSHA considers electrical injuries and electrocution one of the leading causes of of worker fatalities. Given these dangers, no one should take electrical injuries of any kind lightly. Causes of Electrical Injuries at Workplaces Common causes of electrical injuries and electrocution at construction sites include the following: Poor wiring or installation of electric cords and extensions Lack of proper ground-fault protection Use of old construction equipment Use of construction equipment that has not been maintained Making contact with live wires Construction workers and pedestrians/passersby can experience any of the above causes. Electrical Burns and Disfigurement Electrical burns can cause major injuries to the skin and superficial tissues of the body. In serious burn injuries that are caused by electricity, the injury victim may suffer significant disfigurement that will require reconstructive surgery. Grafting and other procedures could be necessary to help burn victims in such issues. Soft Tissue and Nerve Damage Perhaps more serious that any external disfigurement caused by burns, electrical injuries can lead to very serious damage to the muscles, tendons, and nerves. Permanent damage to these soft tissues might require years of physical therapy to address or account for. In some cases, a person many no longer be able to perform simple tasks that they once took for granted. Effects on the Heart With major current coursing through the body, there’s a serious risk of cardiovascular health issues stemming from electrical injuries. Electrocution can also lead to issues with pacemakers and other items that may be implanted in the body, putting injury victims at serious risk of harm. Safety and Proper Precautions Are Key In order to prevent serious injuries and major tragedies from befalling workers and innocent bystanders, it’s of the utmost importance that construction companies, their employees, and an contractors hired make safety their utmost concern. Live wires and other potential sources of electrocution need to be noted and labeled, and these hazards should be kept well away from any people who are not working at the construction site. Simple safety such as this can save lives, which is why preventative measures cannot be taken for granted.

Falls From Construction Scaffolding Cause Serious Injuries
The lawyers of Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton are dedicated to helping the people of Provo in their quest for justice. We offer strong legal counsel and representation, providing the know-how and experience necessary to help clients in civil litigation matters. Our focus is always on what is best for them and their needs in their case. When it comes to lawsuits involving serious construction accidents, having a lawyer on your side is crucial. We want to focus on scaffolding accidents at construction sites, particularly falls from these structures. The injuries sustained can be severe, and they can have long-lasting and tragic implications for the loved ones of the accident victim. Scaffolding Poses Many Hazards and Dangers Scaffolding is necessary when it comes to working on buildings, restoring facades, painting structures, and so forth. Yet scaffolding can pose a number of dangers to workers as well as bystanders on the street. Collapses of scaffolding can be quite deadly, but the same can be said of serious falls from scaffolding, which can have tragic results. Major Falls from Scaffolding Can Be Fatal Whenever someone falls from a major height, the injuries sustained can be severe. Broken bones, lacerations, damage to internal organs, and major head trauma brain damage may occur, with more severe injuries possible depending on the way the person lands. It’s not unheard of for a person who’s fallen from scaffolding to suffer from paralysis because of a spinal cord injury, for instance. When the fall is very high, or the nature of the fall is particularly brutal, the results can be fatal. This is why safety must be a major concern at construction sites at all times. Danger to Workers and Bystanders Below In addition to serious harm for the person who’s fallen from the scaffolding, these kinds of accidents can also pose dangers to co-workers and bystanders/passersby below. The sheer force created by a major fall can lead to severe injuries for people unfortunate enough to be struck during the accident. Potential Causes of Falls from Scaffolding Some potential causes of falls from scaffolding include: Poor Weather – When it’s been raining or snowing, the scaffolding can be hazardous, with workers more prone to slipping or falling while they do work. Slippery Conditions – In addition to bad weather, spilled beverages, paint, and other items can lead to slippery conditions on scaffolding. Objects on the Scaffolding – If a tool, a loose piece of paper, or other foreign object is stepped on unexpectedly on scaffolding, it can throw a worker off balance and make a major fall more likely. Lack of Safety Considerations – Without safety lines or proper regard for work conditions and worker safety, serious accidents such as these become more likely. Poor Scaffolding Construction – Sometimes the issue is with the scaffolding itself, with the structure built in an off-balance way. This makes falls, slips, and other kinds of hazards more likely.
