WOUND INFECTIONS
Injured construction workers should be given immediate medical attention to avoid infections.
When a construction worker suffers a wound on the job site, immediate medical attention is necessary to avoid infection. First aid should be administered on the scene and emergency medical personnel should be contacted to provide additional medical care. It is important to cover and close severe wounds as soon as possible to avoid excessive blood loss and infection. Bacteria may enter the wound and interfere with the healing process. Nails coated with copper wiring are one common source of blood infections at construction sites. When infected wounds are left untreated, the immune system can become compromised and serious health problems or death can result.
If you are the victim of a wound infection, you may be eligible for compensation. Fill out a case evaluation form for free legal advice from a lawyer today.
