Lack Of Safety Equipment Discussed By Construction Accident Lawyer

June 03, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports that when Mr. Tom Moverman, one of the firm’s partners, learned that a recent construction accident victim was not provided with a hard hat prior to his accident, he was shocked.

“There is simply no excuse for failing to provide an employee with the necessary safety equipment.” Mr. Moverman said. “Hopefully, the employer will face the consequences of their actions and others will learn from their mistakes.”

The outcome of an OSHA investigation into the matter may not be announced for some time as the administration has six months to look into the accident, which left one man seriously injured. The accident occurred when his co-workers were using heavy machinery to move a load of lumber onto unsecured boards. The boards shifted and the entire load collapsed onto the ground below, pinning the injured man beneath them. He has been diagnosed with head and leg injuries.

The attorneys working at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman, P.C. have seen thousands of cases where a construction worker was injured due to lax safety standards before. Unfortunately, many employers make the decision to save time and money by cutting corners and ignoring the safety standards set forth by OSHA. The firm, which was established in 1989, believes that in addition to OSHA investigations, a message should be sent by the victim and their loved ones that this type of behavior will not be tolerated. They have successfully helped many clients deliver this message in the form of a construction accident lawsuit.

One of their recent cases involved a client who was injured when the excavation trench he was working in collapsed due to insufficient shoring. After a lengthy trial, the firm was able to secure him $20,000,000 in compensation for his injuries and losses.
