Falling Objects and Injure and Even Kill

Work Accidents involving falling objects can cause many serious injuries and sometimes fatal injuries. Some common Falling Object injuries happen when:

• Tools are dropped at construction sites.
• Warehouse items fall from shelves or off forklifts.
• Office workers or Work-At-Home employees are hurt by items falling from storage closets.
• And many more.
