Personal Injury Lawyer Makes Statement About Investigation Surrounding Worker’s Injury

August 15, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently commented on an investigation into a construction worker’s death that is now being investigated by the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA). Moverman stated that he hopes the investigation yields answers and improved methods of ensuring worker safety.

The Tillamook County Pioneer reported last month that a worker for an external contractor working on roof repairs on one of the cold storage facilities in Tillamook was seriously injured when he fell through an unstable section of the roof that his crew was in the process of repairing. The team is working closely with the contractor to investigate the circumstances of the accident, the report said.

Nationally, falls, in addition to electrocution and being stuck between objects or struck by them, accounted for over half of construction worker deaths in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The OSHA reported that more than 20 percent of all work-related fatalities in 2013 were employed in the construction industry and that one in five of the 4,821 reported fatalities in 2014 were also in the construction industry.

“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 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.
