Personal Injury Lawyer Offers Condolences To Family Of Worker Killed In Harris County

LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman expressed his sympathies to the family and friends of a construction worker who was recently killed in an on-site accident. Moverman stated he hopes this incident will prompt further changes to benefit the safety of workers.

According to ABC 13, an employee was found under a pile of materials that fell on him after he was not seen for over 30 minutes. After his coworkers began looking for him, he was found pinned beneath the rubble. The construction workers began digging him out, and gave him CPR, but when EMS arrived, he was pronounced dead at the scene, the report said.

More than 20 percent of all work-related fatalities in 2013 were employed in the construction industry and one in five of the 4,821 reported fatalities in 2014 were also in the construction industry, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Injuries such as lacerations, bruising, broken or fractured bones and sometimes spinal or brain injuries can often be a result of these accidents as well.
