Injury from Falling Objects
Construction sites are a common scene in cities like Chicago. Construction and renovation projects could go on for years and years. You may have to walk past multiple sites on any given day. For the sake of speed and efficiency, it is often impractical to take a different way so as to avoid the construction area. You could be on the phone or texting a friend, and all of a sudden, a flying object hurtles towards you at great speed.
If you or someone you love has been injured by a falling object, you should not be forced to pay the associated medical costs and related expenses on your own. Contact a Chicago accident attorney from Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C., at 312-466-8200 for a free case evaluation.
Safety Hazards for Pedestrians
If you are casually walking along and window shopping or rushing to work in the morning, you could be hit by flying or falling objects from nearby buildings and offices. If employees of a construction area have been careless in their duties, you could be seriously harmed as a result. Possible injury could come from:
- Moving equipment like cranes or forklifts
- Electric saws
- Jackhammers
- Automatic staple guns
It is the responsibility of construction site managers to ensure that their employees follow prescribed safety measures to protect those on or near the site.
