Construction Worker Injured in Chattanooga Prompts Comment From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 28, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently made a statement regarding a construction accident that occurred in Chattanooga, Tennessee in which a 56-year-old man was injured. Moverman noted that construction accidents leaving workers seriously injured are far too common and that he wishes the man a speedy recovery.

The man had been using a jackhammer on the second floor of a building when the floor collapsed beneath him. The accident occurred around 11 a.m. while crews were demolishing the interior of a brick structure to be converted into an apartment building, according to ABC9 News. The man fell about 25 feet to the ground and first responders arrived shortly after.

These accidents are not uncommon, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The group states that 20 percent of all work-related fatalities occurred in the construction profession in 2013. The number of incidents has become a significant problem, prompting safety reform in places such as New York City. Among the most common accidents are scaffolding incidents, slips, trips and falls, and ladder falls. These accidents can often lead to injuries including lacerations, severe bruising, spinal injuries, head injuries and broken or fractured bones.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman has successfully represented thousands of clients over the years, winning millions for the victims of construction accidents. The firm strongly believes that victims of such accidents are entitled to the compensation they need and deserve.

“Most of these actions help to make our environment and the workplace safer so that others will not have to endure these painful losses,” said Moverman of the firm’s work.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been affected by a construction accident. Qualifying individuals may be entitled to legal action and significant financial compensation.

Toronto’s Traffic Safety Plan Should Move Ahead Claims Shop Insurance Canada

June 28, 2016 – Shop Insurance Canada says that any positive government workable actions to help reduce fatal collisions in Toronto should be adopted. The insurance expert says the Toronto Road Safety Plan (2017-2021) recommendation for quarterly reviews could reduce accidents rates and lower insurance premiums in the long term.

The largest city in Canada is ramping up its efforts to combat fatal auto accidents and help reduce the cost of auto insurance. Politicians in Toronto met June 20 to debate a recent proposal to hold quarterly “joint reviews” to help find the root causes of KSI collisions on Ontario’s busiest roads.

The initiative would be on the recommendation of city staff, who drafted the Toronto Road Safety Plan (2017-2021) headed by the general manager of transportation services, Stephen Buckley. KSI collisions are those that result in victims either being killed or severely injured, it is hoped the road safety plan would help reduce KSI rates in the city by 20%.

“Achieving the 20% reduction in KSI collisions goal proposed by the RSP requires a fundamental shift from opportunistic delivery of programs to a more proactive, data-driven, strategic planning and implementation of proposed countermeasures,” Buckley wrote.

The city met to decide whether the proposal gets pushed to the full council meeting on road safety which is scheduled for July 13. The debate was conducted by the public works and infrastructure and the proposal to move forward was passed.

However, Buckley’s plan would require more funding than has currently been offered by Toronto’s 2017-2025 capital plan. He says the overall cost of his plan “is estimated at $68.1 million” whereas the city has only approved $28.2 million. The plan goes far beyond simply quarterly reviews, but Buckley says such reviews could help understand the nature of KSI collisions.

The reviews would consist “of analyzing a deficiency checklist and hosting quarterly joint reviews of fatal collision events with Toronto Police Service (fatal collision and collision reconstruction reports), Toronto Public Health (hospital trauma centre reports and data) and Transportation Services (collision data, engineering solutions) to identify potential causal factors and countermeasures to reduce the risk and/or severity of serious injury collision events.”

Part of the plan is also focused on pedestrians, namely improving infrastructure for crosswalk markings and possibly introducing a no right turn on some intersections.

“The comprehensive nature of the plan entails the shared responsibility, involvement, and commitment of all road safety partner agencies in the City, consideration for all types of road users, identification of the City’s key safety priorities, and the inclusion of a variety of engineering, education, and enforcement countermeasures,” Buckley wrote.

Any reduction in severe traffic incidents could have a positive impact on the cost of auto insurance premiums in Toronto. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the most expensive region in Canada to insure a vehicle, and while road safety is not a defining factor in high rates, it is a contributor.

“Last Pope” author Leo Zagami lands new TV deal

July 28, 2016 – SAN FRANCISCO: With a paltry population of 842 persons, the city-state of Vatican City in the heart of Rome is the smallest nation in the world. What would we find behind the walls of the world’s most sparsely populated sovereign municipality? The Vatican City is home to the pope, the Vatican Bank and the Swiss Guards who offer protection. The popular façade of a smiling pontiff leading the Catholic faithful to salvation is what the world sees. But maybe there is a darker side?

Organized into seven chapters (The Surrender, Habemus Jorge, the Many Secrets of Pope Francis, NWO & the Islamic Crisis of the Vatican, Homosexuality & Child Abuse in the Vatican, Prophecies and More, and A “Black” Pope on the Papal Throne), Pope Francis: The Last Pope? Money, Masons and Occultism in the Decline of the Catholic Church by acclaimed Confessions of an Illuminati author Leo Lyon Zagami (CCC Publishing, April 2015) examines the flaws in the modern Church and looks at how the Jesuit Pope Francis, coupled with the accelerated decline of Catholicism worldwide, can quite possibly be the conclusion to the once mighty 2,000-year-old religious institution.

Through exploration of the integration of Masons in the Vatican with ancient occult practices, Zagami believes the dawn of a New World Order begins with a One World Religion to be ushered in by Pope Francis himself. Will our future be one of global tyranny, or can we overcome this oppression and advance towards universal enlightenment without direction from the Church? Will “Lucifer’s Lodge” rule this planet, or will the Golden Age be attained with the rapid advancement of human consciousness? Many intriguing dark secrets are exposed for the first time in this groundbreaking tell-all book by one of Rome’s leading whistleblowers.

A new TV series on The Enigma Channel called “The Occult World”will debut this summer starring Leo Zagami, a top 33rd degree Freemason and former illuminati whistleblower,a member of the Coronzon Club, and a former OTO and used to rub shoulders with top illuminati mafia bosses. You can watch in-depth documentaries presented by Leo Zagami on the Enigma Channel – sign-up and get an account here http://enigmatv.com/the_enigma_channel/Welcome.html he is spilling the beans on the Vatican, Freemasonry, Voodoo-Popes and how Judeo-Babylonain Satanism is the basis of Freemasonry & Catholicism.

The Truth About Sterling Silver Jewelry and Potentially Harmful Contaminants

Despite the strengthening of regulations in many parts of the world some silver jewelry manufacturers are still sending out unsafe products to the market place.

Bangkok, Thailand – June 28, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Most consumers are unaware of the fact that the sterling silver jewelry they purchase and wear may contain alloys that can be harmful to health. The issue simply doesn’t cross the mind of the majority of buyers.

As a result, most people do not stop to check whether the rings, bracelets, necklaces and other items they are buying are, in fact, safe to wear. Perhaps the only exception is buyers that have sensitive skin. People who fall into that category know, all too well, that the silver jewelry they buy needs to be as pure as it can be, if they are to avoid skin rashes and hives.

Most countries have introduced regulations to govern how much nickel, lead, cadmium, phthalates and other harmful substances clothing and jewelry products that are produced or sold there can contain. For example, the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) was introduced in the USA, in 2008. This piece of legislation outlined safe limits for a long list of metals and chemicals that should not be in the products, including silver jewelry, sold to the public.

In Europe, over the past two decades, a range of similar laws have been passed. Raising standards for all kinds of consumer products including the alloys used in jewelry. Directive 94/27/EC, which is also known as the Nickel Directive is one such example. This piece of legislation was introduced in 1994, and most EU member states, like the UK, incorporated the standards within the directive into their local laws.

Unfortunately, it is becoming clear that not all silver jewelry manufacturers are adhering to the standards. Earlier this year, extensive checks carried out by Washington State’s Department of Ecology identified children’s jewelry items for sale in the area that contained extremely high levels of cadmium. In some cases, items were 98% cadmium, which is highly toxic soft metal.

In April of this year, a line of jewelry kits made by a major craft manufacturer were withdrawn from sale in New York State. Some of the kits, which were produced in China, were found to contain ten times more lead than is permitted under US standards. It is clear from the major violations that have recently been discovered that some silver jewelry manufacturers are not just flouting the rules, some are totally ignoring them completely.

However, some more ethical manufacturers do take the matter of contaminants in the alloys that they use, very seriously indeed. One such manufacturer is the Thailand based firm, ELF925.

A spokesperson from the company Bruno Golenia explained why they take this matter so seriously. He said:

“We have seen the studies into the harm contaminants like lead, nickel and cadmium can do to people, so producing safe sterling silver jewelry is the only way forward. ELF925 is an ethically run company that takes the safety of everyone, including the end consumer, very seriously. Therefore, we have strict guidelines in place and regularly check that the jewelry we produce conforms to the standards of the 30 countries our products are sold in, including the US, UK and Europe.”

Governments are becoming increasingly aware of the problem of non-compliance. Therefore, many are carrying out more checks. Eventually, these checks will improve adherence to the rules, in the meantime, jewelry retailers will need to continue to be careful about which company they buy their wholesale silver jewelry from.
