How Likely Are You to Be Hurt or Killed in a Construction Accident? A New York Construction Accident Lawyer Wants You to Know the Answer!

You often see close calls on-the-job. You are often told that your work is dangerous, but what does that really mean? What risks do you face as a construction worker? How likely are you to need a New York construction accident lawyer over the course of your career?
Construction Injuries, Illnesses and Deaths
According to a recent study from the Center for Construction Research and Training, construction workers who spend their full career in construction (approximately 45 years) face significant risks of disabling injuries, occupational illnesses and death. Specifically, the study found that a construction worker who begins his career around age 20:
  • Faces a 75% chance of suffering a disabling injury. In other words, three out of four career construction workers will suffer a disability from a construction-related accident.
  • Has a one in 200 chance of dying from job-related injuries.
  • Has a 15% chance of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
  • May be at risk for other significant diseases.
While illnesses may be more likely toward the end of a construction career and after years of inhaling chemicals and potential toxins, there is no such delay for injuries and death. A New York construction injury or fatality can occur any day that you work on-the-job.
