June 12, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently commented on a construction accident in Brooklyn that left 3 individuals severely wounded. Moverman wishes the 3 men a speedy recovery and hopes that all 3 individuals will eventually be able to return to work. All 3 men are currently in the hospital in serious condition.

As reported by The New York Post, the men were working at a site on 21st street nearby the Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn. At about 9 AM on May 9th, the men were struck by a steel plate that had come loose. 2 of the victims were transported to Lutheran Hospital, and 1 victim was taken to Methodist Hospital, all 3 men are being treated for serious injuries. The cause of the incident is still unknown according to officials.

According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration there is a large variety of causes of construction-worker deaths, however, the four leading causes of death accounted for nearly 60 percent of all construction worker deaths in 2014. The four leading causes or the ‘Fatal Four’ are worker deaths from falls, electrocution, being struck by an object, and being caught in between an object or equipment. With increased regulation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics concluded that elimination of the ‘Fatal Four’ would save over 500 American worker’s lives each year.
