Baltimore Welder Fatally Injured By Beam, Induces Response From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 27, 2016 – – Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com recently commented on a development in Maryland where a local man was killed after being struck by a steel beam on June 18th. Moverman indicates that construction accidents of this nature are tragedies, and consequently he sends his condolences to the victim’s family. Attorney Moverman has placed a strong emphasis on the need for safety reform in the construction industry and notes that without revisions to the current rules and regulations, more accidents of this nature will arise in the coming years.

A local report published by The Baltimore Sun indicated that a welder at a White Marsh construction site was struck by a metal beam at 2:00 p.m. on June 18th. The victim, who was not identified, was working at a construction site on Campbell Blvd., near the 5200 block. A Baltimore County Fire Department spokeswoman claimed that county police, with the assistance of Maryland OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) officials, are currently investigating the unexpected death, and speculate that no foul play was involved. This was the second fatal industrial accident in Baltimore County during the week of 6/12/16.

Federal OSHA has indicated that there were 73 fatal work injuries that came as a result of individuals being struck by objects in 2014. Being struck by objects was the third leading cause of death for construction workers for the calendar year, and accounted for over 8 percent of construction worker fatalities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicated that there were nearly 5,000 fatal injuries across all industries in 2014, and regrettably, construction workers represented nearly 20 percent of the year’s death toll.
