LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman responded to news of a critically injured worker in Utah recently. Moverman stated that in addition to wishing the worker a speedy and successful recovery, he hopes that more can be done to protect workers against the possibility of these types of injuries.
Fox 13 reported that the worker had been at a construction site near Utah Valley University when he fell four storeys to the ground. He was later admitted to the hospital with several broken bones, the report said. Police did not release the man’s identity.
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.The most common forms of injury in the construction business include slips, trips, and falls. These types of accidents, 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.
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.The firm has successfully obtained millions in settlements for those victims and strongly believes in fighting for victims’ deserved compensation. In one case, Attorney Thomas Moverman won a victim $5.3 million for an airport worker whose leg was caught in a motorized air stair.
“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.
