A corporation in Colorado is being told that it must clean up a mine that has been leaking uranium into a local river that eventually reaches a reservoir meant for drinking water after a bitter two year fight with CO construction law lawyers and state officials. A bond of over a million dollars was posted by the company but state officials have said that the amount was insufficient to complete the cleanup and that more needed to be done. The corporation has said that cleaning the area would cut into another construction season and that regulators were overstepping their bounds by requiring the cleanup.

In a case that serves to remind all construction workers of the potential danger they face by working on a construction site, a worker on a construction site in New York recently died after a large piece of machinery crushed him to death. The case has captured the attention of Long Island construction accident lawyer offices and those in the construction field in the state because it illustrates how dangerous working on such a site can be sometimes. When a serious accident occurs on a construction site the Occupational Safety and Health Administration comes in for an investigation.
