Personal Injury Lawyer Comments On Worker Injured By Cement Truck

LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman stated last month that an incident involving a worker who was injured by a cement truck is a recent example of the dangers of the construction industry. Moverman added that these risks are present for workers every day and that more must be done to ensure their safety.

Fox 31 Denver reported last month that a worker was run over by a cement truck just outside the work zone at East 16th Avenue and Pennsylvania Street. He was rushed to the hospital but no updates were immediately given on his condition. Police and the OSHA were assigned to investigate it. No previous safety concerns were reported about the work area before the accident, the report stated.

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.

“My clients’ lives and families are the most important aspect of what I do. I hope the lawsuits that I bring and the results I obtain will allow them to try to restore themselves both physically and personally,” said Moverman of the firm’s efforts.
