Houston Elevator Fall Severely Injures Local Worker, Induces Response From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 27, 2016 – – Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com recently commented on a development in Houston, Texas where a local man was severely injured when he fell down an elevator shaft while at a work site. Attorney Thomas Moverman wished the victim a speedy and complete recovery from his injuries and is thankful that the Houston man survived the devastating 3-story fall. Moreover, Moverman has urged federal regulators and lawmakers to acknowledge the growing frequency of fatal worksite injuries and make the overdue changes to worker-safety rules, which he hopes will help minimize worksite injuries and fatalities nationwide.

According to a local report from a local NBC affiliate Click2Houston.com, a local construction worker fell 3 stories to the basement of the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston. Local authorities quickly arrived on the scene, and transported the worker to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he was stabilized, despite sustaining a broken leg from the 3-story fall. The accident took place in a section of the building where renovations are currently being done, consequently, local authorities and safety experts have begun investigating the cause of the fall.

Federal OSHA (The Occupational Safety & Health Administration) is tasked with ensuring the safety and well-being of nearly 130 million American workers per year, located at greater than 8 million different job sites. In 2014, they concluded that 359 construction workers died as a result of fatal injuries from falls, and thousands of additional workers were also left severely injured in similar incidents. Likewise, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicated that nearly 3 million American workers were injured while on the job in 2014, and nearly ⅓ of those injured workers required at least one day away from work.
