The housing boom has slowed due to the economy, but the rate of construction site accidents involving injury and death remains the highest of all occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Data collected by the BLS shows that one out of every 10 construction workers are injured each year, and 22 percent of all workplace deaths are construction site-related.
How to Choose a Bellevue Construction Injury Lawyer
Attorney Daniel Whitmore recently settled a case that involved serious injuries suffered by a worker on a construction site. The responsible party denied responsibility and claimed it was not liable because it had complied with the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) regulations.
Seattle construction site accident lawyer Daniel Whitmore created a successful legal strategy based on several unique tactics, including the state and federal workplace safety guidelines. Attorney Whitmore knows all the state and federal laws related to construction, and he also knows that mere compliance with those safety regulations may not be sufficient to keep workers safe.
That worker is now able to focus on his recovery instead of losing sleep due to worrying about his medical bills, lost wages and the cost of future treatments.
