Injury Of 50-Year-Old Construction Worker Prompts Comment From Personal Injury Lawyer

July 19, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman commented on the recent injury of a construction worker in Connecticut. Moverman wished the man a speedy recovery and added that the incident is another example of the need for construction safety reform.

The Wilton Bulletin reported early last month that a 50-year-old contractor who had been working at the Miller-Driscoll construction site was hurt while moving equipment. Emergency responders were called just before 4 p.m. for a “severe traumatic injury.” When pieces fell off a moving cart, the contractor tripped and landed on the equipment injuring his ribs. The worker was treated and taken to Norwalk Hospital, the source said.

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. 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 also in the construction industry.

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.

“Most of these actions help to make our environment and the workplace safer so that others will not have to endure these painful losses,” said Moverman of the firm’s work.
