Construction Worker Impaled on Steel Rod in Construction Accident
The Phoenix construction accident lawyers at the Arizona personal injury law firm Breyer Law Offices P.C. take worker safety very seriously and have helped construction accident victims and their families for many years. Their lawyers help accident survivors and their families hold those responsible for the accident accountable for their actions and dissuade them from making decisions that risk workers’ lives. They also help victims and their families receive the compensation they deserve to help with the steep costs of hospitalization and recovery.
According to an article, officials investigating a construction accident scene say that a worker was impaled on a thick piece of steel reinforcement bar recently while working at the construction site of a nine-story building. They say the accident occurred around 11 a.m. and that the worker was erecting a metal form for a concrete column when he fell 15 feet onto a 3-foot-tall steel rod. The steel rod entered the worker’s lower back and exited his abdomen. When emergency response personnel arrived, they had to cut the steel rod before loading the man into an ambulance with the bar still passing through him. This type of horrible construction accident fall will obviously have serious repercussions for this man and his family. Holding any responsible parties to their obligation to help out the person they injured – if another was at fault – is one of the primary goals of the personal injury compensation system.
