Bronx Head and Brain Injuries Lawyers
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires construction employers to provide hardhats for construction workers so that they can help avoid potentially dangerous head and brain injuries. While hardhats do provide a method of head and brain safety for construction workers, workers may still be at risk for injury.
If you or someone you love suffered a head injury on a construction site, you are likely facing extremely costly medical bills and other expenses. Fortunately, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Contact the Bronx head and brain injuries lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 for more information.
Causes of Construction Site Head and Brain Injuries
Most head injuries on construction sites occur in one of three ways:
- Falling debris
- Blunt force from objects on the site
- Slip and fall accidents
Hardhats may prevent some of the harm that these accidents inflict, but ultimately, the force of the accident will determine how effective the hardhat is. The size of the falling debris and the speed behind a blunt force accident will determine how well the hardhat works.
In the case of slip and fall accidents, construction employees often work at great heights, making the height from which a worker falls important in determining how much protection the hardhat will provide.
