Veteran Tennessee Construction Worker Hospitalized, Generates Response From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 24, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently commented on a development that occurred in Chattanooga on June 16th, where a local man was hospitalized following a fall while at a local construction site. Moverman wishes the man a speedy recovery and hopes that when he is ready, he is able to return to work. Moverman indicates that federal regulators should strongly consider implementing additional safety rules and regulations in order to minimize the potential for future workplace injuries and fatalities.

As reported by a local ABC affiliate, NewsChannel9.com reports that a local 56-year-old man was severely injured and transported to a local hospital, after the man fell due to a second story concrete floor collapse. A Chattanooga Fire Department Official indicated that the concrete collapse came as a result of an overload of pressure, that was caused by the use of a jackhammer on the second story. The report notes that the local man fell 25 feet to the ground, and that following the incident, building code inspectors have issued a stop-work-order.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) notes that there were 818 fatalities as a result of falls, slips, and trips in all industries in 2014. The BLS also noted that there were nearly 3,000,000 non-fatal injuries and illnesses in private industry in 2014, moreover, falls, slips, and trips accounted for nearly 250,000 of the year’s total.

Another important statistic from the BLS was the figure that of the 660 fatal falls that occurred in 2014, almost 2 out of every 3 falls occurred at a height of 20 feet or less. Luckily for the victim in Tennessee, he was not fatally wounded and is being treated extensively at Erlanger Medical Center.
