In Nevada, construction work revitalizes the local and state economies. For Las Vegas, it has been one of the primary foundations of the local economy, with new hotels, casinos and other attractions calling on this industry.
But it’s a dirty job that poses unique dangers for construction workers who labor under the desert sun. As a construction worker, you face the possibility of accidental injuries or death each day.
You may experience a range of injuries while at work, ranging from mild contusions or sprains to serious and life-altering injuries that can lead to long-term disability.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, the leading causes of construction worker injuries in 2014 were:
Many of these injuries could have been prevented had safety been a priority for supervisors and companies more concerned with their bottom lines than the health of their workers. While accidents are considered one of the prices paid for construction work, those that could have been prevented are most costly for victims like you.
After surviving an accident, you will likely wish to address your immediate concerns such as paying medical bills, ensuring future coverage of related treatments by your insurance company, and getting back on track financially by recovering lost earnings.
Construction workers severely injured on the worksite sometimes never recover. If you’re one, you may be unable to meet your financial obligations or afford proper medical treatment. You could end up desperate and willing to accept a fraction of what your injuries will cost you over a lifetime.
