Construction Accident Results In Tragedy

Believe it or not, the construction industry is starting to see a recovery on the East Coast thanks to many homeowners looking to sell but needing to remodel first. One of the most popular forms of remodeling and upgrading is repairing or replacing roofs. On June 14th, Harvey J. Seymour III, 46, of Fulton was killed after he fell 30 feet from a roof where he was working and sustained a fatal brain injury. Mr. Seymour’s co-workers were working on the opposite side of the roof and didn’t see him fall. Unfortunately, Mr. Seymour’s accident wasn’t discovered until one of his co-workers went to investigate why he didn’t hear Harvey working. No one was home at the time.
