The scaffolding collapse in which Mr. Guss’s client was injured occurred on October 16th in downtown Houston at 500 Crawford Street, across from Minute Maid Park. According to a report published by Chron.com, six construction workers were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
This is the second major scaffolding collapse incident that has happened in the Houston area in recent weeks. Another incident, which occurred 11 days prior to the accident described above, resulted in one injury when a construction worker fell after a scaffolding collapse on Greenway plaza.
According to Mr. Guss, Houston is growing at such a rapid pace that many contractors are attempting to increase their profit margins by using substandard safety equipment and “cutting corners” on safety standards and procedures. Unfortunately, this can result in serious accidents that can jeopardize not only the safety of the workers, but bystanders and pedestrians as well. Mr. Guss is committed to making sure that contractors who put their profits ahead of the safety of hard working men and women are held to account through the civil justice system.
