Fall at Construction Site Leads to Harrowing Rescue

Arizona construction accident lawyers are often called upon to answer questions regarding payment of medical bills, money for lost wages, and pain and suffering claims owed to people hurt when injured on construction sites. A lack of OSHA required fall protection often leads to claims for money damages that can be explained by top Phoenix, Arizona construction injury lawyers.

A recent report indicates that police officials and OSHA are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fall and serious injury of a construction worker who fell 30 feet while preparing to pour a concrete floor in a building under construction. The injured worker was last reported to be in an area hospital in critical but stable condition. This type of accident occurs far too common.

Officials say that the building’s layout and construction materials made for a difficult rescue. Rescue workers had to set up a complicated rigging system to reach and extract the injured worker. He was then lowered safely to the ground for transportation to the hospital.

Falls at a construction site and other types of accidents happen throughout the country and repeatedly occur at Arizona construction sites. In many cases, these accidents are caused by inattentive supervision, inadequate safety procedures and training, and the dangers of working around heavy construction equipment. Arizona’s skilled construction accident attorneys are dedicated to helping accident victims and their families recover from construction accidents.

Over the years, Breyer Law has been retained to help many Arizona construction accident victims receive compensation to offset the steep costs of medical care, medication, and physical rehabilitation regimens.
