Falling Objects
Though an individual may take numerous precautions to promote his or her own safety, there are too many factors beyond one’s control to guarantee the avoidance of injury. If one works at or are near a construction site or manufacturing company, there may be an elevated risk of being struck by falling objects. Falling objects cause thousands of injuries every year in the United States, and the victims of these incidents may require extensive medical attention.
If you or someone you know has been injured by a falling object, you could be entitled to financial compensation to help pay for the costs of your treatment and recovery.

Common Falling Objects

- Damaged parts of buildings
- Building / construction materials
- Tools / equipment
- People / workers
- Chemicals / paint
All of these objects could cause serious injury depending on the height from which they fall and the nature of the objects themselves.
