After Worker Is Injured In Fall, Personal Injury Lawyer Notes Importance Of Safety Precautions

August 03, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently stated that the need for safety precautions for workers is more important than ever. Following the injury of a worker in San Francisco, Moverman noted that construction workers deserve more security.

CBS reported that a man who had been secured by ropes as he worked on a netting fell 50 feet down a cliff on San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill near Coit Tower. Rescue workers had to scale the side of the cliff to get to the worker who, according to reports, suffered multiple traumatic injuries from the fall.

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.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman have been representing victims of construction accidents for years. The firm is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been injured in a construction accident and qualifying individuals may be entitled to financial compensation. They have successfully obtained millions in settlements for those victims and strongly believe in fighting for the compensation victims need and deserve. In one case, Attorney Thomas Moverman won $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.
