Construction Accidents in Ohio
The construction industry is one of the most dangerous in the nation. In 2018, an estimated 21% of private industry fatalities involved the construction field, contributing to 1,008 deaths that year. An estimated one out of every five workers killed on the job is a construction worker. There are more than 8 million worksites located across the nation, and every compliance officer has an estimated 59,000 workers assigned to him or her.
Ohio construction site accidents can leave victims and their families with significant injuries and other financial damages, and these are often enough to completely disrupt a victim’s life. Big cities throughout the state have busy and congested roadways that are constantly under construction, setting the scene for a serious or life-threatening accident.
