What Are Common Types of Construction Accidents You See in Western New York?

Common construction site injuries that we see in Erie County and the Buffalo area are workers falling from heights, which is a very serious threat on a construction site. We also see frequently tools or materials falling onto workers. One of the often overlooked but more frequently occurring injuries on construction sites are slips and trips. These sites are just replete with tools and materials all over the place. And it’s very easy for co-workers, other workers, other contractors, delivery persons to just leave materials and tools where they don’t belong. And we see a lot of injury stemming from that. Right now, we have a massive construction project going on in Erie County. That’s the building of the new Buffalo Bill Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. There have been some cases that have come out of that already. It’s largely been a safe site, but they occur.
