Accidents on Construction Sites

An accident at work is never safe. When an accident happens on a construction site, though, the outcome can and often is catastrophic. The nature of a busy construction site with heavy machinery, different types of equipment, toxic substances, and so forth add to an innate risk of someone getting hurt.

Different types of construction site accidents include:

  • Falling off scaffolding or off a high platform
  • Struck by a falling object
  • Caught in/between machinery
  • Exposure to hazardous chemicals
  • Contact with electrical sources
  • Hit by construction or passenger vehicle

The type of injury suffered in these accidents will vary, too. In some cases, an injured construction worker will only suffer minor or moderate injuries that can be remedied with medical attention. In other situations, the injuries suffered are permanent and life-threatening.

Do You Have Workers’ Comp Coverage?

Most employees in Kentucky are covered by workers’ compensation. However, independent contractors are typically not covered by workers’ compensation. They are most often an exception to coverage because they can decide how to complete work on their own terms, which includes ensuring that they are taking steps to safeguard themselves from hazards.

The independent contractor wrinkle to workers’ compensation law can be a problem for construction workers. On many jobsites, construction workers are hired as independent contractors who are tasked to complete a specific job on the site. If a construction worker is not considered an employee, then they might not be covered by workers’ compensation.

Thankfully, workers’ compensation is not the only way you can receive compensation after a workplace accident if you are an independent contractor working on a construction site. Without workers’ comp coverage, you are free to sue your employer through a personal injury claim. The problem is that you then have to prove that your employer acted negligently and is liable for your injury, which can be difficult.
