Falls and struck-by incidents continue to be among the leading causes of traumatic injuries and deaths on construction sites across the United States. Safety experts and regulators consistently warn that these incidents are largely preventable when proper safety planning, training, and protections are implemented.

From the perspective of experienced construction accident lawyers, these campaigns highlight a critical point: most serious construction accidents occur because established safety rules were ignored or not enforced.
