What Rosa Gonzalez v. Atlas Means for a Construction Accident Lawyer


In 2015, 937 out of 4,379 construction fatalities in the private sector were due to construction accidents. To put it in another way, one in five deaths occurred in construction sites. Moreover, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration reported that the “Fatal Four” caused more than half or 64.2% of construction fatalities in the same year. These four refer to falls, being struck by an object, electrocution, and caught-in/between machines or equipment.
