Personal Injury Lawyer Offers Condolences After Seattle Worker Is Killed In Accident

July 15, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently offered his condolences to the family and friends of a Seattle worker who was killed on the job. Moverman added that instances like these are always devastating and that he hopes the incident will be investigated thoroughly.

NBC news reported that a box truck struck a lift with two workers. The impact sent one worker 15 feet to the exit ramp below, and the other 50 feet to the ground below the bridge deck. Both workers were transported to Harborview Medical Center. One of the workers was pronounced dead at the hospital and the other was listed in serious condition, the report said. Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are now investigating the accident.

Injuries resulting from these types of 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, such as the case with one of the Seattle workers. 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.
