Caught Object Material
Construction accidents can occur when workers get caught on objects and materials
There are many construction projects happening in the greater New York City area at any given time. Even if a worker is as careful as they can possibly be, accidents can still happen. There are a number of ways that accidents can occur on a construction site and one of those ways is caught object material.
As a construction worker, it's often your job to work in tight or even dangerous situations. You work with dangerous construction materials such as concrete, steel and large pieces of wood. Large machinery is in use on every project. Working with powerful equipment safely depends on human operations, and the unfortunate truth is that sometimes people can make mistakes.
Common types of accidents
In our New York offices, we see victims of caught object material construction accidents. These accidents can occur when a worker gets stuck on construction material during a project. Accidents also happen when construction workers get caught on or in between objects or equipment.
There are many reasons that accidents occur. Management might not have warned you properly about the dangers of working with particular equipment or materials. Perhaps they should have given you more concrete plans and instructions. They might not have designed the project safely, or management might not have given proper training to the the people using the equipment.
No matter the cause, the results can be devastating. You might have significant pain and suffering. You may be unable to work and unable to pay your mounting medical bills. You might be worried about how your family is going to survive.
