Hotel Construction Accident Kills Worker

Finding the best injury lawyer in Arizona may be impossible due to the large number of lawyers that exist. However, we strongly encourage all construction workers to seek out the best construction accident and injury lawyer they can find before making any decisions following a serious construction accident. Throughout Arizona and the United States, these tragic injuries occur far too often.

For example, a construction worker fell from the fourth floor of a Marriott hotel and died of his injuries, according to a news report. The worker was apparently helping with the construction work on a new wing of the hotel.

Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces in any country. Injuries and fatalities from falls at construction sites are way too common. Arizona is no exception. Falls at construction sites account for one-third of all construction accident deaths in the United States.

Such construction site falls can be caused by a wide variety of factors. Slippery surfaces, lack of guardrails, unstable scaffolding or improperly set up ladders are just some of the reasons workers fall at construction sites. Also, when workers fall from a construction site, they face additional risks such as electrical wires, concrete, rebar, passing traffic and other exposed materials.

If you or a family member has been seriously injured or killed in an Arizona construction site accident, we encourage you to call Breyer Law to find out how we can help protect your rights and secure fair compensation for your damages and loss. Arizona workers compensation benefits are often inadequate to cover a majority of expenses you may incur in terms of medical expenses and loss of wages. Our experienced Phoenix construction accident lawyers will look into whether negligence on the part of a third party may have caused the fall.
