Personal Injury Lawyer Comments On Workers Injured In Two Separate Incidents At Wind Farm

July 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman made a statement on a recent investigation into the injury of workers at Ninnescah Wind Farm. Moverman said he hopes the investigation will reveal ways in which workers can be protected from further accidents.

North American Windpower reported that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is currently investigating incidents and the Wind Farm involving injured employees. The article states that a 26-year-old was struck in the head by a four-pound, 10-inch bolt while constructing a wind turbine at the site. The worker had been approximately 100 feet above the ground inside a turbine tower. The man was knocked unconscious and other workers in the vicinity were able to lower him to the ground, where he regained consciousness. In another incident, a 41-year-old employee fell approximately 120 feet while conducting wind turbine maintenance. He and another co-worker were situated from a suspended work platform when it dropped, according to the source.

The most common forms of injury in the construction business include slips, trips, and falls. These types of accidents in addition to electrocution and being stuck between objects or struck by them, accounted for over half of construction worker deaths in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The OSHA reported that more than 20 percent of all work-related fatalities in 2013 were employed in the construction industry and that one in five of the 4,821 reported fatalities in 2014 were also in the construction industry.

In one case, Attorney Thomas Moverman won a victim $2.6 million for a worker who injured his knee and back in a fall from defective scaffolding.

“Most of these actions help to make our environment and the workplace safer so that others will not have to endure these painful losses,” said Moverman of the firm’s work.
