One Construction Worker Killed, Another Injured in Forklift Accident

Posted on February 16th, 2009 2 Comments

A Georgia construction worker was killed on Friday, following an accident involving a forklift.  Another worker was hospitalized when the two men fell from the forklift's extended platform at a height of 35 feet.

Construction worker James Shanks was pronounced dead on the scene, while worker Jay Smith was transported to the hospital with undisclosed injuries.  The men were working on the construction of a residence at the time of the incident.

Police officials say the men were applying stucco to a chimney while standing on the forklift platform.  Co-workers heard a popping noise as the forklift jerked and the men fell.

Construction accidents like this one are all too common.  If you or someone you know has been the victim of a construction accident, contact the Philadelphia workers' compensation lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511 for more information on your legal right to compensation.
