Personal Injury Lawyer Commends First Responders In Man’s Fall

July 05, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently wished a construction worker a speedy recovery after it was reported that he had fallen from a bridge while doing work. Moverman said he commends the first responders who came to the aid of the worker and hopes that his recovery goes smoothly.

WNCT News reported that the worker had passed out before falling from the bridge over Gallants Channel. He was on top of a steel girder, about 70 feet above the water. His safety harness got snagged, causing him to lose balance and fall about five feet. The worker landed on plywood below, according to the news source. A contractor used a crane and lowered him to a boat below where he was taken to the nearest marina.The man was then airlifted to a nearby hospital and was expected to return to work the next week.

The most common forms of injury in the construction business include slips, trips, and falls, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
