Construction Site Injuries

Construction site workers face many hazards and work-related injuries.
Construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs in terms of injury of any industry, with workers exposed daily to the risk of falls, heavy machinery accidents, electrocution, and falling objects. When employers or contractors fail to follow safety protocols, the results can be devastating.

Over 77,000 construction-related injuries were reported in 2025 (OSHA), with residential building construction with the leadomg number of non-fatal injuries.

At Schad Law, we help injured construction workers in Indiana and Kentucky understand their rights and pursue the compensation they deserve. Whether your injury occurred on a commercial site, road crew, or residential build, we’re here to help you recover physically, financially, and legally.

Common Construction Site Accidents

We represent workers who have suffered injuries due to a side range of work-related accidents.

  • Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops

  • Trench collapses and structural failures

  • Machinery malfunctions and equipment injuries

  • Electrical burns or electrocution

  • Falling tools or building materials

  • Exposure to hazardous substances

  • Inadequate safety gear or training

Who Is Responsible?

While workers’ compensation may cover many job site injuries, some cases involve third-party liability—such as negligent subcontractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers. These claims may allow for compensation beyond workers’ comp, including pain and suffering, future lost wages, and long-term medical care.

We investigate the circumstances of your injury and identify every possible avenue for recovery. If someone else’s negligence contributed to your injury, we’ll hold them accountable.
