Construction Injury Claim
Free Case Assessment

The construction industry is by its nature dangerous, and every year there are a large number of accidents leading to workers making an injury claim.

Over 20% of all construction workers sustain an injury every year, although not all of these require them to make an injury claim. 11% of all non-fatal workplace injuries arise from the construction sector.

Construction Injury Claim Causes

According to the Health and Safety Authority of Ireland the main types of accidents causing death during construction activities are falls from a height, site vehicles, falling or collapsing material, and contact with overhead electricity lines. The most common types of non-fatal injuries are manual handling, slips, trips and falls, falling or collapsing material and falls from a height.

Employers Duty of Care

Despite the dangerous nature of the work, your employer must do all that they can to keep you safe. If they fail to discharge their duty to protect you and you suffer injury, you can make a construction injury claim for compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of earnings and any other expenses. This is a basic right that we all have, and even if the accident was partially your own fault you may still have a valid claim.
