Even worse, however, they can cause great consequences, resulting in both short-term injuries and long-term side effects. Our Kingston trip and fall accident lawyers at Basch & Keegan LLP can aid you in getting extensive compensation for the severe losses you have experienced on account of another’s negligence.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents
Trips, slips, and falls can occur anywhere at a construction site, and depending on where you fall, can cause extensive, painful damage.
Common sources of slips, trips, and falls on a construction site include:
Cracked or broken asphalt
Wet or damp floors or surfaces
Spills from sticky materials
Worn or frayed floorboards or carpet
Loose or rippled carpets
Leaks from hazardous chemicals
Uneven tiles
Broken or cracked stairs
Dim or non-existent lighting
Loose or raised screws and nails
Crowded hallways and aisles
Damaged elevators or escalators
Loose, broken, or missing railings
Debris filling halls and walkways
Loose or trailing cables and wires
Level changes in ramps or doorways
Unsafe or wobbly ladders
Construction sites can be filled with multiple instances of these varied, hazardous conditions. A responsible building owner or manager makes frequent checks of the construction site, ensuring safety for any workers on the location. If managers are careless or ignorant, or simply do not take the time to correct these risks, they are liable to pay reparations for the damage and injuries you receive on account of these threats to your health and wellbeing.
Steps to Take After a Trip and Fall Accident
You may have a right to hold a property owner or establishment liable for their failure to provide a safe environment if you have been injured in a trip and fall accident. In order to do so, you will need to take the proper steps and execute carefully. Here are some helpful tips on how to assist your attorney with your case:
Avoid making any statement that could mark you as guilty
Collect the names and contact information of property managers
Get contact details of any witnesses
Take pictures of the scene and injuries
Save the shoes and clothing you were wearing at the time
Get medical attention
Knowing Your Legal Rights for Damage from Slips, Trips, and Falls
Accidents from falling and tripping at a construction site can create extensive consequences of pain, suffering, and stress for you or your loved ones, and you deserve the right to pursue justice by obtaining full compensation from those responsible. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to claim damages related to past and future medical attention, rehabilitation, and therapy.
You can also gain reparation for reduced wages in being forced to take time from work, as well as future income losses resulting from physical injuries. In addition, you often can seek compensation for the emotional damage of pain, suffering, and stress you have received. In the tragic case that a loved one loses their life due to a construction site fall, family members can pursue compensation for this heartbreaking fatality.
