Construction Worker Crushed to Death

Arizona construction workers have the right to be protected from serious physical injury while working. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes injury lawyers who are specialists in what they do to bring these companies to justice and obtain money for construction workers; more than just what is provided under workers compensation claims. It is not just Arizona construction injury lawyers that are needed; instead, all the best injury lawyers in the United States and Arizona need to come together to protect these workers.

This report describes a recent construction accident death where a construction worker was crushed to death trying to help a truck driver get his rig unstuck on a muddy dirt road. Emergency response personnel responding to the construction accident scene say that a tractor-trailer hauling concrete pipes got stuck on a muddy portion of dirt road. The accident victim attempted to assist the truck’s driver by trying to hook a chain from the trailer to a nearby bulldozer to pull it free of the mud. While the victim was behind the trailer out of the truck driver’s sight, the driver mistakenly believed the man was no longer behind the truck and put the truck in reverse, crushing the victim to death.

When Arizona construction accidents involve heavy equipment such as tractor-trailers, workers are often killed or suffer very serious injuries that require costly medical care and lengthy rehabilitation regimens. The victims and their families seldom have the financial resources to cover medical care that quickly—which runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars—and don’t know what to do.
