Bridgehampton Workers Injured In Fall, Generates Response From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 17, 2016 – – Attorney Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com reiterated the necessity for revisions to the current construction safety rules and regulations, following a recent incident in Bridgehampton, New York. Moverman wishes both workers a full recovery and hopes that when ready, both workers are able to return to work. Additionally, the attorney emphasized his concern for the safety of construction workers nationwide and noted that without additional safety precautions put in place, construction workers are likely to remain at great risk for future injuries and fatalities.

As reported by Patch.com, 2 construction workers were severely injured while working at Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church on May 27th. Bridgehampton Fire Department officials stated that the two men sustained significant injuries from the fall, and were transported to a local hospital for treatment by Suffolk County Aviation. Local authorities have not specified the cause of the construction accident fall, or the extent of each victim’s injuries.
