Construction Accident Lawyer Makes Statement About Construction Deaths Nationwide

May 27, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently commented on the death of an Iowa man who was killed doing construction work in Denver earlier this month. Moverman stated that deaths such as these are all too frequent across the U.S. and that action should be taken to improve workplace safety.

The Iowa man had been doing construction on a wall at 102 W. Main Street in Denver when a portion of the foundation wall tipped over and trapped him, according to reports from KWWL 7. The man was freed by emergency personnel but sadly, had died at the scene.

There are several types of construction accidents that affect workers on the job. Among those are scaffolding accidents, slips, trips and falls, and ladder accidents. Common injuries associated with construction accidents include lacerations, broken or fractured bones, severe bruising that can lead to blood clots, spinal injuries, and brain injuries. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), there are about 2.3 million construction workers in the United States at any given time and in 2013, more than 20% of all work-related fatalities were employed in the construction industry.
