Approximately 40% of all construction site fatalities are caused by falls.

Injuries Caused by Falls from Height
While falls for heights are possible in most all jobs—after all, how many office buildings don’t have stairs?—they are most common among construction workers. These individuals may fall from a high point on the site if they are not provided a safety harness and other fall-proofing equipment. In other instances, the structure the worker stands upon, like a scaffolding, may collapse underneath them. There are even instances where a coworker knocks someone else off a ledge in a terrible accident.
Catastrophic injuries caused in fall from height accidents often include:
No matter the cause of the accident, or the extent of the injuries suffered, an employee who is injured while at work should be afforded ample compensation. Workers’ compensation benefits can help with medical bills and lost wages, whereas a personal injury claim can seek those damages and others including pain and suffering.
