Fatal Construction Accidents in Pennsylvania

Workplace accidents may not happen as commonly as other accidents in Pennsylvania. However, when they do, they tend to lead to some of the most extensive harm – even taking the lives of those involved at times. In 2020, it was reported that approximately 148 people were killed in workplace accidents within the state of Pennsylvania, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most workplace accidents can be prevented but continue to happen when employers and employees disobey the rules of the workplace and act in a negligent fashion. Some of the main reasons for workplace accidents include the following:

• Motor vehicle accidents while on the job
• Falls and slips
• Being struck by objects or equipment
• Being exposed to chemicals
