Construction Accident Lawyer Applauds Brooklyn Doctor Following Heroic Effort

June 12, 2016 – – Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com praises a local New York doctor following the events that occurred in Brooklyn on April 22nd. The local construction worker was struck by a falling light pole which knocked the man into a 15-foot trench. Attorney Moverman emphasized that the victim likely would have lost his life, without the caring assistance from the local doctor.

NBC New York’s news report indicates that a construction worker was working on a site on East 49th Street near Kingsbrook Medical Center at about 8:30 A.M. in East Flatbush. The victim was hit by a plummeting light pole, which was triggered by a backhoe striking the pole. The victim was critically injured after being pushed into the trench. Luckily a Brooklyn doctor ran to the scene and recognized that the victim was unconscious and bleeding. The doctor climbed down a ladder stabilized the victim’s neck and urgently transported the victim by ambulance to Kings County Hospital. The victim is currently in critical condition but has been stabilized.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) concluded that there were nearly 3,000,000 nonfatal injuries and illnesses in private industry in 2014. Nearly ⅓ of those nonfatal injuries resulted in individuals missing work, which on average resulted in 9 days away from work for each individual.
