Posted on October 14th, 2009 No Comments

A Philadelphia worker recently fell to his death following an accident that took place recently.  According to reports,  the construction lift that the worker was on toppled over.  This caused the worker to fall from over 100 feet in the air to the ground below.   The worker did not immediately die from his injuries, and was being treated at a hospital shortly before his death.

Rail Road Worker Deaths Increased in 2008

Posted on March 6th, 2009 1 Comment

A new study has been released by the Federal Railroad Administration that includes accident and death statistics for the past few years.

Overall,  the number of injuries were down for the year of 2008.  Many officials state that better safety regulations, training, and procedures have lead to this drop.  What is startling however, that is with the drop in accident,  the number of deaths has increased.  The number of rail road workers killed in an accident in 2007 was  16.  However, in 2008 the number of deaths was 23.  This is nearly a 50% increase in deaths for rail roads workers in a one year period.  This statistics pointsout that although there are fewer accidents overall,  the number of accidents that occur may be more serious. 

If you or someone you know has been injured in a work related 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.

Heroic Postal Worker Loses Job After Car Crash

Posted on February 11th, 2009 2 Comments

Idaho mail carrier Isaac Fish has lost his job with the U.S. Postal Service, following an incident in which his delivery truck crashed on an icy roadway.  Prior to the crash, Fish had been dubbed a hero for his efforts to rescue an ailing elderly woman on his mail route.

Fish, 21, was a temporary postal employee working under a yearly contract with the USPS.  The Postal Service has opted not to renew Fish's contract, and his father has told reporters that this comes as a direct result of the crash.  Fortunately, Fish was not harmed in the incident, and there were no other vehicles or individuals involved.

Postal employees say that USPS policy mandates letting go any temporary employee involved in an car crash. However, Fish and his family criticized the policy, saying that this was the first safety incident Fish had been involved with during his three years on the job.

Fish received local attention last month after helping to rescue Eugenie Simons, a senior citizen who had been immobilized after a fall.  Fish noticed that her mail had gone uncollected for several days and alerted authorities.

If you've been injured at work, you may be eligible to file a workers' compensation claim. Contact the Philadelphia workers' compensation lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511 for more information.
