Construction Accidents

in California

Accidents and injuries are, sadly, a common occurrence on construction sites.

In 2019, around 20% of all worker fatalities in the private sector occurred in the construction industry, according to OSHA.

Construction workers accounted for one in every five workplace fatalities. However, they are not the only ones at risk during construction accidents; passersby, employees, customers, and visitors to construction sites can also suffer serious injuries. If you have been injured in a construction accident, our experienced premises liability attorneys at Wiseman-Hoffs Attorneys are here to help you.
