Massachusetts Construction Accident Leads To Statement From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 17, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman issued a statement regarding construction safety regulations following a recent Falmouth construction accident that left 2 workers injured. Moverman hopes that both workers are able to make full recoveries from the injuries they sustained. The attorney also noted that construction accidents have continued to increase in frequency and that without revisions to the current safety rules and regulations, no signs point toward changes in that troublesome trend.

According to a local report from CapeCod.com, 2 workers were injured on May 25th following a construction accident in Falmouth, Massachusetts. As detailed in the report, the two workers were injured after falling from staging at a construction site located at Fisherman’s Cove Road. First responders arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and transported both men to Falmouth Hospital for treatment.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that in 2014 there were nearly 3,000,000 non-fatal injuries and illnesses in the private industry. Over 900,000 individuals missed at least 1 day of work following illness or injury. Furthermore, on average individuals who missed work in 2014, missed 9 days. Many slip, trip, and fall victims weren’t as lucky; in 2014 the BLS claim, there were 818 fatalities caused by falls, slips, and trips.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) claim that falls were the number one leading cause of death for construction workers in 2014. Falls represented nearly 40 percent of 2014 construction worker fatalities, taking the lives of nearly 350 construction workers in 2014. OSHA also signifies that out of close to 4,300 worker fatalities in the private industry in 2014, at least one out of five fatalities were in the construction industry.
