An important step in many new construction projects is the demolition of old structures. The process of demolition is often necessary to make room for new construction, but this process can be very dangerous. Demolitions that are not properly planned can result in serious injury to construction workers and people near the demolition. No matter how large or small the demolition may be, proper planning and care should be taken before demolition occurs.
If you or someone you love has been injured while on or near a construction site, you know the damage these injuries can cause.
