According to a leading New York personal injury lawyer, a 28-year-old construction worker at the World Trade Center construction site fell at least 14 feet and suffered serious injuries.
“Jose Jerez, a 28-year-old construction worker was seriously injured while working on a doorway, 100 feet above street level, when he plummeted about 14 feet, landing on a plywood floor inside the One World Trade Center building, which is currently under construction,” says George W. Ilchert, Esq., a partner with Lurie, Ilchert, Mac Donnell and Ryan, LLP (http://www.limrlaw.com), a personal injury law firm, experienced in construction injury cases, serving New York City and the entire tri-state region. “Reports state that Port Authority rescuers lifted the victim out from inside the building in a wire basket and used a hoist to lower him to street level. An FDNY ambulance took Jarez to Bellevue Hospital, where he was initially listed in serious condition.”
According to Ilchert, construction accidents can often be attributed to the carelessness of managers or other people running a job site.
“Construction companies must follow strict safety regulations to ensure the safety of workers and the public,” says Ilchert. “Although contractors, construction firms, and those charged with the safety of construction workers are not always to blame for such accidents, anyone who has been the victim of a construction should consult a personal injury attorney to ensure that a full investigation is conducted to determine responsibility.”
According to Ilchert, many factors must be taken into consideration when determining if a construction accident was the result of negligence, equipment failure or dangerous worksite conditions.
“Those injured in a construction accident may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses or pain and suffering following a personal injury, says Ilchert.
