Death In Connecticut Scaffolding Accident, Sparks Commentary From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 07, 2016 – – Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com commented on the exponential increase of fatal injuries for construction workers. Moverman emphasized that “These are hard-working individuals, that work extensive shifts often at unordinary hours, and they deserve to be safe while on the job.” Attorney Moverman sympathizes with the family of the fallen victim and hopes that future regulations will minimize the possibility of other families dealing with this unthinkable burden.

As displayed in a report from Patch.com, a local man from Darien, Connecticut was working on the construction of a single family home and fell from a scaffold. At 12:51 AM on April 11th, police received a 911 call, shortly after EMS and local authorities were on the scene and transported the man to Stamford Hospital. The local man was pronounced dead as a result of a significant head injury sustained in the fall.

According to the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA), there are nearly 2.3 million construction workers in the United States. Since over 65 percent of those workers work on scaffolding, that accounts for nearly 1.5 million construction workers in the United States. Figures show that on average 60 deaths and over 4,500 injuries occur while working on scaffolding each year. The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (COSH) emphasizes that no dollar amount can make up for the loss of a loved one, and urges employer-implemented programs to increase healthy, safe workplaces across the country.
