OSHA Probes Wall Collapse That Injured Two People, Prompting Comment From Personal Injury Lawyer

July 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently commented on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) investigation into what caused a wall at the former Wollaston Theatre to collapse and injure two demolition workers. Moverman said he hopes the thorough investigation will lead to better work environments for construction employees.

According to the Patriot Ledger, the two men suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and were rushed to Boston Medical Center after a 20-foot brick wall off Chapman Street collapsed. The demolition company provided a statement saying that the proper procedures were followed and that they are continuing to work with the OSHA during the investigation.

Accidents can occur at an alarming rate and injuries resulting from these accidents typically include lacerations, bruising, broken or fractured bones and sometimes spinal or brain injuries. In other cases, these types of accidents can become fatal. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states 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 has been representing victims of construction accidents for years.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.

“My clients’ lives and families are the most important aspect of what I do. I hope the lawsuits that I bring and the results I obtain will allow them to try to restore themselves both physically and personally,” said Moverman of the firm’s efforts.

The firm is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been injured in a construction accident. Certain individuals may be entitled to significant financial compensation.
