The first deals with all injuries suffered by individuals who are not employed at the construction site. These cases tend to involve a passer-by being hit by falling objects. In these situations, an "ordinary" personal injury lawsuit will usually be the result.

The second category of Construction Accidents encompasses all accidents sustained by employees on the construction site.

Life in Palm Bay

Palm Bay, Florida is the largest city in Brevard County. Its population is approximately 101,000 as of a 2008 Census estimate.

The earliest European settlers to arrive in the area now known as Palm Bay showed up in 1850, building homes along Turkey Creek. By the late 1800s, there was a lumber mill, a packing house, orange groves, and several other industries in Palm Bay. However, growth was quite slow during that period. This changed in 1894, with the arrival of the railroad in Palm Bay.

Modernly, Palm Bay's economy is largely based around tourism. Because it is right on the Atlantic coast, and enjoys a warm, subtropical climate, it is popular among visitors, as well as people who wish to relocate, particularly retirees.

Palm Bay is also home to the Turkey Creek Sanctuary, a small nature preserve that showcases Florida's natural beauty. It is home to many native wildlife species, turtles, alligators, and dozens of types of birds. It has trails for hiking, bicycling, and jogging. The eponymous creek is an important breeding area for both freshwater and saltwater fish.
