Causes of Construction Accidents

In the state of North Carolina, construction accidents happen quite frequently.  Sometimes, these accidents result from construction workers making innocent mistakes and other times these accidents result from the negligence of construction workers' employers. 

All too often, employers of construction employees and general contractors act in ways that are overly negligent or reckless.  When this happens, people who work on construction jobs can be placed in dangerous situations that lead to them sustaining injuries.

Aside from employer negligence, here are some other common causes of construction accidents:  defective ladders or scaffolding, rotting floors, exposure to hazardous chemicals, exposed electrical wiring, violation of safety codes, slippery surfaces on construction sites, improper disposal of materials and defective work equipment.
