Construction sites offer opportunity for injury in many forms, such as falling debris, slip and falls, misuse of tools, and electrocution. Any type of injury is possible when so many people are working on so many different projects on a site. Being run over by construction equipment account for a relatively small number of accidents on construction sites , but still provide a very real and often fatal danger.

Heavy Machinery

Of all the tools used on a construction site, heavy machinery is the most deadly. In addition to having the potential to cause injury from malfunction, improper loading, and incorrect use, these machines provide a risk of running over other people on the site:

  • Cranes
  • Bulldozers
  • Forklift
  • Grader
  • Loader
  • Backhoe
  • Personal lift
  • Dump trucks

Of course, any motorized vehicle can cause damage, but the larger the machine, the higher the chances of severe injury and death.

Injuries from Construction Equipment

When you are run over by construction equipment, you run the risk of several injuries. Almost certainly you will suffer from broken bones, but other injuries may include:

  • Internal bleeding
  • Organ damage
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis

The extent of damage will vary depending on the size of the equipment and the amount of your body that was run over. Medical attention should be sought immediately in every case.

Death from Construction Equipment

Sadly, many accidents involving being run over by construction equipment will end in death. This leaves the family of the victim with expenses related to their loved one's passing as well as concerns over future financial support. Even when blame is assessed, an adequate amount of compensation may not be provided by insurance and company offers. In these unfortunate instances, having an experienced wrongful death attorney on your side is crucial to ensure you are compensated the full amount you are due.
