Construction Accident Lawyer Offers Condolences For Worker Killed In Backhoe Accident

June 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently offered his sympathies to the friends and family of a construction worker who was killed in New Haven this month. Moverman stated that as the victim’s family works to overcome this tragedy, the experience should serve as a wake-up call to regulators about the need for change in construction safety.

Fox 61 reported that the worker had been struck by heavy equipment at around noon at the construction site on Boston Post Road. West Haven Police and Fire are investigating along with officials from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

This accident is not an isolated incident. 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 in the construction industry. 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.

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 a victim $2.6 million for a worker who injured his knee and back in a fall from defective scaffolding.
