A construction site can be one of the most dangerous places to work. Every year in the United States, hundreds of thousands of workers are severely injured, and many are killed, in construction site accidents.

Construction companies are responsible for thoroughly inspecting work sites with safety engineers and providing safety programs for employees. When these steps are not taken and a worker is injured or killed, the owners, architects, insurance companies and equipment manufacturers can be held legally responsible. It is also possible the general contractor, and even subcontractors, may be liable for damages. While worker's compensation might cover part of the damages involved in a construction site accident, it is often not enough.

Common construction site accidents involve injuries caused by electrocution, falls, cranes, heavy equipment, scaffolding, dangerous or defective machinery, compressed gas hazards, and welding, cutting or brazing.
