Serious injuries can occur in any workplace, but harmful accidents are much more common in the construction industry because the very nature of the work can be hazardous. Whether heavy equipment is being used at a site or workers are performing their duties at great heights, construction accidents can be devastating and in some cases even fatal.

Colorado Construction Accidents
An accident can happen at a construction site at any time. Some of the most common types of construction accidents include:
- Being struck by a falling object
- Falls from scaffolding or other high places
- Electrocution
- Being stuck or caught between objects or machinery
Injuries caused by a construction accident can be severe and can include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, back and neck injuries, broken bones, burns, and lacerations. Workers who have suffered these types of injuries often face a long road to recovery. Thus, it is important to obtain the compensation you need and deserve in the event you are in a construction accident.

However, if your accident was the result of the negligence of someone other than your employer, you might be able to file a third-party claim against that responsible individual, even if you are already entitled to workers compensation benefits.
