Question:
What Are Common Mistakes People Make if They Have Been Injured on a Construction Site?Answer:
We were asked the other day to talk about some of the common mistakes that we see people injured on construction sites make, especially here in Illinois. The number one issue we see is a failure to notify your employer that you’ve been injured on the job site. Anytime you’re hurt on the job site, we always advise people, even if it’s a minimal injury, to document what happened. In this day and age, most people carry a phone with them at all times. If you were injured on a construction site, if you or your coworkers are able to take photographs of the scene, of the condition, or anything else that was going on at the time you were injured, it can really help you protect yourself down the road with your construction accident.
Oftentimes after a construction worker is injured on a site, it may be they’re taken away by ambulance or they’ve left the job site, either the general contractor or other subcontractors will alter or change the site – we have seen it many times – so it’s important that in the event you’re injured on a construction site, document it right away and take pictures or have your coworkers take pictures if possible.
