Construction Accident Statistics: Texas & Nationwide

12,300 construction workers were injured in Texas in 2018, according to reports compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS also reported that 107 workers lost their lives. That figure represents about 22% of all workplace fatalities in 2018. Safety standards are in place to protect construction workers, but these numbers show that accidents are still continuing to occur in this field more than any other.

More than half of construction worker fatalities across the U.S. can be traced to one of the four following causes, dubbed the “Fatal Four” by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration:

  • Falls, which accounted for 33.5% of fatalities in 2018
  • Struck by object accidents, which accounted for 11.1% of fatalities
  • Electrocutions, which accounted for 8.5% of fatalities
  • Caught-in/between accidents, which accounted for 5.5% of fatalities

What Causes Construction Worker Injuries & Fatalities?

Safety violations like a lack of standard fall protection, improperly constructed scaffolding, unsafe ladder use, inadequate respiratory protection, and machinery or tool malfunctions are several of the causes behind construction injuries and fatalities. By understanding what caused your accident, we can determine how to help you get the care and support you need. Our Dallas construction accident lawyers work with top experts in engineering, investigation, accident reconstruction, medicine, and other fields to build the strongest cases for our clients. And we’re standing by to see how we can help you.
