Death Of North Carolina Worker Prompts Comment From Personal Injury Lawyer

LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman offered his condolences recently following the death of a North Carolina worker who was killed in a construction accident. Moverman added that these fatal construction accidents are far too common and that he offers his condolences to the friends and family of the victim during this trying time.

WSOCTV.com reported that the accident occurred on July 20 in the area of Shopton Road West and Egrets Point Drive. The man died after he became trapped under a tractor at around 3 p.m. Though limited details were given on the incident, the OSHA opened an investigation into the accident.

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.
