Another Work Site Injury Prompts Comment From Construction Accident Lawyer

According to a report by ABC7, the man was injured as he was working at a building that was undergoing demolition. He was secured by a rope when a piece of concrete fell and struck him in the head. First responders had to remove him from the scaffolding that was 20 stories up. Officials were trying to determine whether the falling concrete was connected to the demolition.
