Lemont Construction Site Accident Initiates Comments From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 12, 2016 – – Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com echoed his support for a Chicago couple who have filed a lawsuit case against 3 businesses, in which they cite negligence as the cause of the injuries the husband sustained while at work. Moverman noted that construction accident victims are entitled to seek justice for injuries sustained while at work. He also emphasized that with greater safety regulations and precautions fewer injuries would occur in the construction industry.

According to a report from the Cook County Record, the Chicago couple filed lawsuit cases against UChicago Argonne LLC, Clark Construction Group, and Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. The plaintiff states that the construction site he was working at did not maintain a safe working environment. The victim stated that he was working as a pipefitter, when he slipped in mud, and was struck by a falling pipe.

The Cook County man sustained severe permanent undisclosed injuries, with symptoms such as severe physical pain, mental anguish, along with hefty medical expenses. Those symptoms are extremely common for non-fatal work-related injuries which often result in fractures, severe bruising, and head trauma.

Slips, trips, and falls, are the leading cause of death in the construction industry. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, there were 349 fatalities in the private construction industry in 2014, totaling 40 % of all construction work-related fatalities. The plaintiff, in this case, was also struck by an object, which in 2014 was the third leading cause of fatalities for the construction industry, resulting in 73 deaths in the private construction industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, In 2014 there were nearly 3,000,000 non-fatal injuries and illnesses along with close to 5000 fatalities due to work-related injuries in private industry.
