Construction Accident Lawyer Calls For Change As Notre Dame Investigates Worker Injury

July 01, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman commented recently on the need for change in construction safety after a worker was injured on the job. Moverman said the injury is another example of necessary changes that need to be implemented in the construction industry.

According to NBC 16, a 54-year old worker suffered a puncture wound in his back while working in Flaherty Hall. University police are looking into this as a possible assault and IOSHA is investigating the man’s company as a possible workplace accident, according to the news source.

There are several types of common injuries construction workers face in their work environments every day. Among the most common injuries resulting from accidents are lacerations, bruising, broken or fractured bones, spinal injuries and brain injuries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that there are four kinds of accidents that are typically associated with fatalities on the job as well. Falls, electrocution, being struck by an object, and getting caught in between objects are listed as the leading causes of construction deaths. The “fatal four,” as they are called, were responsible for more than half of construction worker deaths in 2014.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman have been representing victims of construction accidents for years. 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. The firm has successfully obtained millions in settlements for those victims and strongly believes in fighting for the compensation victims need and deserve. Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been injured in a construction accident and qualifying individuals may be entitled to financial compensation.
