Worker Killed in Construction Site Accident
Finding a lawyer in Arizona to help someone who was hurt doing construction work can be a challenge. This problem does not come from a lack of excellent lawyers in Arizona, but a lack of lawyers that seem to discuss the claims that can be made for serious injuries or for families who lost a loved one on a construction job beyond just a workers compensation claim. These claims are available – and vital to the family – in many cases. Construction site deaths can be caused by truckers on road construction cases or negligent subcontractors on other construction sites. These tragedies are not limited to Arizona.
A tractor-trailer struck and killed a construction worker on an Interstate, recently. According to this report, law enforcement officials are investigating the accident and say that the man who was killed was working as part of a concrete construction crew when he was killed by the big rig. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will inspect the worksite and the accident scene
Highway and construction employees in Arizona work at high-risk worksites. These locations include construction sites with heavy equipment and highway work zones with cars and large trucks nearby moving at high rates of speed. When proper safety protocols are not enforced, when employees receive little training or supervision, or when safety measures aren’t in place, the chances of worker fatalities and serious injuries on the job are much higher.
