The construction industry can be dangerous to work in, with heavy machinery and materials, powerful tools, working at heights and workers coming and going at building and construction sites. The construction industry is one of the largest sources of injury claims in Australia, accounting for 10 per cent of all worker’s claims.
If you are in an accident in the construction industry and it was another person’s fault, you may be eligible to claim. For example, inadequate safety standards or poor training. Claims can be awarded to cover medical costs, personal loss and lost earnings.
