Common Construction Site Injuries in Redmond

Oregon OSHA identifies four leading causes of fatal construction injuries, sometimes called the “Fatal Four”: falls, struck-by incidents, electrocution, and caught-in or caught-between accidents. Each category covers a distinct range of site conditions.

• Falls: Improperly secured scaffolding, missing guardrails, and unprotected roof edges are frequent contributors.
• Struck-by incidents: Falling tools, swinging crane loads, and passing forklifts all create hazards on active sites.
• Electrocution: Temporary wiring, overhead power lines, and energized equipment on live sites present serious risks.
• Caught-in or caught-between accidents: Heavy machinery malfunctions and equipment failures in this category may also support a product liability claim against the manufacturer, separate from any negligence claim.

Workers’ Compensation, Third-Party Claims, & Oregon’s Comparative Fault Rule

Most Oregon employers must carry workers’ compensation insurance, which provides wage replacement and medical benefits regardless of fault. That coverage is a starting point, not a ceiling. Workers’ compensation generally prevents an injured employee from suing their direct employer directly, and it doesn’t compensate for pain and suffering or the full value of lost earning capacity.

When another party contributed to the injury, a separate personal injury lawsuit can run alongside or after a workers’ compensation claim. Several legal theories apply on construction sites:

• Employer Liability Law (ELL) claims: Oregon’s ELL allows claims against a general contractor, subcontractor, or other party who controlled the work or shared a common enterprise with the injured worker’s employer, holding them to a heightened safety standard.
• Premises liability: A property owner or occupier may be liable when a dangerous site condition caused or contributed to the injury.
• Product liability: A manufacturer may be responsible when defective machinery or tools caused the harm.

Oregon follows modified comparative negligence under ORS 31.600. A claimant found 50 percent or less at fault can still recover damages, reduced by their share of fault. Recovery is barred entirely if the claimant is found more than 50 percent responsible. How fault gets allocated is one reason thorough case preparation matters from day one.
