Charleston Leg Injury Lawyers

Construction workers have one of the most physically demanding jobs that exist within the contemporary American workforce. Many are required on a regular basis to lift tremendous amounts of weight. When they are asked to do so without proper safety equipment or assistance from other employees as necessitated by the weight, they are susceptible to potentially debilitating injuries.

The legs are among the most frequently injured body parts when lifting incidents occur, due to the tremendous strain that heavy lifting can place on them. This is particularly problematic because it is virtually impossible to perform many of the essential duties of a construction job without the full use of one’s legs.

If attempting to lift a heavy load with or without adequate accommodation and equipment has rendered you unable to work for any period of time, contact the Charleston leg injury lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm at 843-720-2800.

Common Leg Injuries

Until one suffers a leg injury, it is easy to forget how much we depend on our legs to do even the most basic things. Standing up to get out of bed in the morning, climbing down the stairs, and walking to the kitchen all provide a quick and painful reminder for an injured worker. If those tasks are difficult, then going to work on a construction site is downright near impossible. Some of the most commonly encountered leg injuries are:

• Fractures to the leg bones or knee
• Sprains and strains of the upper and lower leg
• Sprains and strains of the knee and feet
• Severe lacerations
