What Injured Workers
Need to Know

Construction Injuries

TRENCH ACCIDENTS

Steps should be taken to minimize the risk of trench cave-ins.

When trench walls collapse, road construction crews and sewer and waterline construction workers can be seriously injured. Workers can be buried under dirt, rocks, construction materials, and other types of equipment. Broken bones, traumatic brain injury, and severe disfigurement are among the injuries that can result when trench walls collapse. These kinds of accidents can be caused by soil shifting due to rain, improper preparation or maintenance of the trench, or misplacement of heavy equipment or machinery. Trench workers can also be injured if proper safety precautions aren't taken regarding underground gas and electrical lines. OSHA provides guidelines for the digging and maintenance of trenches that are designed to minimize the risk of collapse, and trenches should be inspected daily for signs of weakness.

There are several parties who may be responsible for injuries due to trench collapses. In order to find out if you are eligible to recover compensation for an injury, fill out our free case evaluation form. A construction accident lawyer will discuss your case and legal rights with you.
