Personal Injury Lawyer Comments on Incident Leaving Two Workers Hospitalized

July 05, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman said earlier this month that incidents, such the one that occurred recently in Massachusetts, put construction workers at an unnecessary risk every day. He wishes to two injured men a quick recovery as authorities investigate.

According to NECN, the two workers had been on a construction lift that fell through the floor into the basement of the building. Crews had been doing work at 2868 Stevens Street. The men were taken via ambulance to a nearby hospital and the extent of their injuries was unknown. The fire department continued to investigate.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2010, 11 percent of all fatal work injuries occurred because of a fall to a lower level.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. According to the OSHA, 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.
