Construction and Workplace Accidents

Construction is one of the pillars of our economy. It creates jobs, gives us places to work, and provides homes for our families. A healthy construction industry keeps our country moving, and its health is often an indicator of our county’s health.

However, just like any other industries, mistakes a far too common. In an industry where there are several facets to the process from design to engineering and from assembly to materials, there are many places where one mistake can have implications downstream. In Florida, we have many unique requirements for our buildings because of environmental concerns and the threat of severe weather like hurricanes. Faced with these added burdens in addition to the proposition of simply designing and building a viable structure, there are places where vulnerabilities can arise. Some of those problems can include:

• Leaking and pooling roofs;
• Mold;
• Termites;
• Flooding basements

These problems can result in financial damage to the property itself, valuables inside, and can even result in personal injury, and this can occur in the home or in another structure like a business.
