Common causes of construction accidents

Common situations leading to a construction accident compensation:

• Falls from ladders, scaffolding or aerial platforms

• Falling objects such as tools or materials

• Collapsing of construction structures

• Accidents with machines

• Tripping or slipping due to obstacles

These situations often lead to serious injuries, such as amputations, brain injury, fractures or permanent disabilities.

Liability in a construction accident compensation

The employer has a legal duty of care. This means that the employer must ensure:

• Safe working materials

• Clear and understandable safety instructions

• Supervision on the shop floor

• A safe work organization

Is this duty of care breached?
Then the employer is liable for your construction accident compensation.

Employers are almost always insured, which allows the damage to be recovered without any problems.

How is your construction accident compensation calculated?

The amount of your compensation depends on, among other things:

• Severity of the injury

• Loss of income (current and future)

• Medical costs

• Household help

• Rehabilitation costs

• Travel costs

• Compensation for pain and suffering (non-material damage)

At Arslan Lawyers we calculate your full damage, so you don’t miss out on anything.
