A construction accident is any injury-causing incident that arises out of construction, renovation, demolition, or related site work. The phrase covers more than the stereotype of a worker falling off a building. It reaches the laborer crushed by a load, the electrician shocked by an exposed line, the passerby struck by debris, and the equipment operator pinned by a machine.
This section covers injuries on and around construction sites and work zones: the common accident types, the injuries they produce, and who may be responsible when a worker or a passing driver is hurt. Workers’ compensation and industrial accidents each have their own sections for the claims side.

Construction Accident Injuries
A construction accident injury is any physical harm that happens on or because of a construction site, from a crew member falling off scaffolding to a passerby struck by a dropped tool.
