Construction Accident Lawyer Pushes For Safety Reform, Following Tallahassee Construction Accident

June 18, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman commented on the need for increased safety rules and regulations for construction workers nationwide. Attorney Moverman claimed that more and more construction workers are injured each day, ranging from minor injuries to fatalities. He declared that until federal regulators and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) come together and increase worker safety, construction workers will continue to be among the most at-risk individuals in the United States.

As reported by a local news outlet WCTV.com, on June 13th, 2 workers were injured while working at Doak Campbell Stadium. Doak Campbell Stadium, which is the home to the Florida State Seminoles Football team, has been under construction for nearly 9 months. A Florida State University Police Major told local reporters that two workers were cutting a piece of material while on an elevated surface when suddenly the material descended to the ground injuring 2 co-workers. Local officials also indicated that both victims did not sustain life-threatening injuries, and were fortunate to not have been further injured.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) concluded that nearly 3 million workers became ill or sustained non-fatal injuries as a result of work conditions in 2014. An estimated 1 in 3 of the individuals who were injured missed at least one day of work. Workers who missed work as a result of non-fatal injuries or illnesses were absent for an average of 9 days of work. The BLS also indicated that there were nearly 5,000 work-related fatalities in the United States in 2014 and that construction worker deaths represented nearly 20 percent of the death toll.
