Equipment Failure Leads To Worker’s Wrongful Death
Workplace hazards have the potential to cause serious injury or death to workers. The law firm of Beasley Allen recently highlighted a case that they are working on in which a worker lost his life due to a construction accident. The full story of this accident can be found in the law firm’s publication, the JereBeasley Report.
Work Accident Results in Death
Two men were involved in a construction accident on the Montgomery Outer Loop Project and a wrongful death lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the family of one of those men. It was filed in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama with defendants being Dawson Bridge Co. and Miller Formless Systems.
The death of the two workers was due to a piece of equipment that failed to operate correctly. Both men fell nearly 90 feet to the ground due to a defective wagon lift.
This work accident is still under investigation at this time according to the Alabama Department of Transportation and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. After the accident, the company running the construction project, Dawson Bridge Co., was suspended from continuing work.
It is against the law for employers to not provide a safe workplace. This tragic accident clearly shows a failure to provide a safe workplace for workers as two men were killed.
