Los trabajadores de la construcción pasan mucho tiempo en presencia de peligros y enfrentan una variedad de peligros a pesar de las muchas precauciones de seguridad que se toman para evitar lesiones personales en los lugares de trabajo industriales o de construcción. Los accidentes en Miami que involucran maquinaria pesada a menudo conducen a lesiones personales y muchas veces son el resultado de negligencia por parte del empleador o del empleado. No obstante, existen leyes que aseguran la compensación independientemente de la culpa, principalmente porque la gravedad de las lesiones que involucran el uso negligente de maquinaria pesada a veces puede tener consecuencias que alteran la vida o incluso pueden resultar en una muerte por negligencia. Uno de esos incidentes ocurrió el sábado pasado cuando un trabajador en un sitio de trabajo industrial en West Miami-Dade cayó en una máquina de asfalto y experimentó una muerte agonizante. Las autoridades investigan qué provocó que el trabajador cayera en la máquina que le quitó la vida. En otra tragedia reciente que involucró maquinaria pesada y asfalto, un anciano operador de máquina pavimentadora con 30 años de experiencia en el trabajo fue aplastado después de que se cayó de la máquina mientras pavimentaba el estacionamiento del sitio de construcción de un centro médico en Miami-Dade. Estas son solo algunas de las muchas tragedias e incidentes de accidentes que ocurren todo el tiempo en las obras de construcción en Miami y sus alrededores. Hay razones por las que se colocan carteles de advertencia, así como áreas con cascos, barreras, etc. Sin embargo, peligros como el riesgo de electrocución, caídas desde alturas elevadas, contacto con sustancias peligrosas y otras lesiones a largo plazo por estar expuesto a elementos tóxicos durante largos períodos de tiempo al acecho en los sitios de construcción.

Miami Beach, Florida: A 35-year-old construction worker fell approximately 12ft. at a Miami Beach construction site this past Monday and died shortly after being assisted at Jackson Memorial Hospital, according to the local authorities that arrived to the accident scene. Miami Beach Fire Rescue units reported that the construction worker, an outsourced mason working for the Rinaldi Group, fell from the third floor onto the second floor of a building that was being constructed at 2000 Washington Ave. The construction work accident that led to the worker’s tragic fall is being investigated by officials from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which according to sources, requires that rebar caps be placed on the ends of any protruding rebar in the event a worker falls onto them while on the job. In this case, officials will have to determine if the construction firm acted negligently by leaving the rebar unprotected. If that is determined to be the case, the construction company may face severe fines to compensate for any wrongful death claims brought on by the victim’s family. Though it is hard to put a price on life, legitimate negligence on behalf of an employer and his/her insurance provider must.
