Officials say a worker doing construction on central Florida’s massive highway expansion project was killed after being struck by a drainage pipe.
According to the Orange County Fire Rescue, the worker was struck by a 20-foot iron pipe on Monday.
Workers were moving the pipe when it fell and hit the worker in the head along Interstate 4 near Winter Park, Florida.
The sheriff’s office is investigating.
If you have lost a loved one in a construction accident that could have been prevented, you may have a wrongful death claim. After a construction accident results in injury or death, it is important to investigate the site in the same condition as it was when the accident occurred. Construction sites are constantly changing, and owners may attempt to cover up a dangerous situation that caused the accident, or it could be fixed as part of the construction job.
Losing a loved one in a construction accident could entitle you to financial compensation for damages. Our Florida Workers Compensation Attorneys at Whittel & Melton can review the facts of your case and determine what steps to take next. We work on a contingency fee basis, so we don’t get paid unless there is a settlement or recovery of funds made on your behalf.
