Two Chicago Men Injured in Construction Accident
Jason Meisner of the Chicago Tribune reports that two men were injured while working on a scaffold due to high winds. (Full Story). This incident is eerily similar to the scaffold accident at the John Hancock tower.
Construction accidents arise in many different circumstances and for many different reasons. Under Illinois law, general contractors have an obligation to schedule and coordinate work in a safe manner. General contractors also must provide a safe workplace. The injuries reported by Jason Meisner potentially give rise to construction accident litigation because the men probably should not have been working on the scaffold in high winds.
