Construction Site Injury Lawyer in Bend, Oregon

Construction site worker in Bend, OR injured after falling.Every year, thousands of Americans are harmed or killed on construction job sites because of unsafe working conditions.

The construction industry is responsible for almost 18% of all workplace fatalities. Caused by lax safety procedures, negligence, faulty equipment, or poor supervision, most catastrophes that occur on construction sites could have been prevented.

Machines, compressed gasses, nail guns, cranes, scaffolding, and falls can cause serious injuries. Construction companies often blame the worker, but D’Amore Law Group is known for thorough investigation and case analysis in defense of injured workers against unsafe contractors. D’Amore Law Group’s Bend construction injury lawyer is experienced in handling construction site injury and death cases – call for a free consultation.

Commercial Construction Site Injury

The leading causes of construction worker death on job sites are falls, electrocution, and being struck by an object (OSHA) – but there are many ways workers can sustain a catastrophic injury on a construction site. Improperly secured scaffolding, or guardrails, electrocution, defective design (of scaffolding, tools, or construction equipment), improper ventilation, and big machines like forklifts can all cause serious injury or even death. Loud noises may cause deafness, and chemical exposure can be fatal.

Residential Construction Site Injury

Many construction workers incorrectly believe that “getting injured” is part of working in construction. However, construction companies and sub-contractors are required to maintain and enforce safety precautions to protect their workers, other contractors’ workers, and the public. Serious, debilitating injuries occur when work sites are unsafe – and are usually the result of negligence.

Common Causes of Construction Injuries in Bend, OR

Unlike traffic collisions, construction accidents are workplace injuries rather than crashes tied to a specific road or intersection. Below are the hazard categories that OSHA and state safety agencies identify as responsible for the vast majority of serious and fatal construction injuries in Central Oregon.

Falls From Height

OSHA’s “Fatal Four” data shows falls account for roughly one-third of all construction worker deaths nationally, and Oregon OSHA identifies fall hazards as a leading cause of construction fatalities in the state.

Scaffolding Collapses

Improperly constructed or secured scaffolding is responsible for an estimated 80 deaths and over 10,000 injuries nationally each year.

Struck-By Incidents

Falling tools, materials, or equipment on active job sites are one of OSHA’s four leading causes of construction fatalities.

Caught-In/Between Hazards

Workers caught between equipment, trench walls, or collapsing structures face some of the most severe construction injuries.

Bend’s Residential & Commercial Growth

Central Oregon’s ongoing building boom means a steady volume of active job sites across residential subdivisions and commercial developments in and around Bend.

Electrocution

Contact with power lines or improperly grounded equipment rounds out OSHA’s “Fatal Four” and remains a persistent hazard on Oregon job sites.
