LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman offered his condolences for the family and friends of a worker from Minnesota who died after being trapped in a trench. Moverman stated that he hopes the family can find comfort during their grieving and that similar incidents can be prevented in the future.
According to Bring Me The News, a 48-year-old worker died of his injuries after he and another construction worker were buried when the trench they were working in collapsed in Minnetonka Monday morning. The worker was found unresponsive after being rescued and rushed to Hennepin County Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead, the report said.
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.
