Personal Injury Lawyer Urges Regulators For Additional Safety Regulations, Following Tallahassee Construction Accident

July 22, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a story that appeared on WCTV.com about 2 workers that suffered work-related injuries while performing their duties at Doak Campbell Stadium, which is the home of the Florida State Seminoles Football Team. The stadium has been under construction for 9 months. The June 13th incident, as reported by a Florida State University Police Major, occurred when material being cut on an elevated surface fell to the ground injuring the 2 workers, who did not experience any life-threatening injuries. They were very fortunate to not have been seriously injured.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported that in 2014 there were approximately 3 million workers who fell ill or suffered non-fatal injuries due to their working conditions. Of those injured, 1 in 3 missed one day of work. The BLS also reports that of those that did not report to work because of non-fatal injuries or illnesses, they were absent on average of 9 working days. Last, the BLS reports that in 2014 there were almost 5,000 work-related fatalities in the country with deaths of construction workers comprising 20 percent of that total number.

Thomas Moverman of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman commented on the need for better safety rules and regulations for construction workers across the country. He states that construction workers have become injured more often with the injuries ranging from minor to fatal. He stated that until there is more cooperation between federal regulating agencies and the Occupational Safety & Health Agency (OSHA) to enhance worker safety, construction workers will be at a greater risk of injury and death while on the job.

Attorney Thomas Moverman and the law firm are currently offering free legal consultations to all victims of construction accident injuries. Moverman has had immense success representing individuals who have been burdened by construction accidents. For example, with Moverman’s assistance and counsel, a previous victim was granted compensation of $2,500,000 following a ladder fall that left the victim with a fractured leg and severely wounded back.
