Injured Worker Falls Through Hole in Floor
Our client, while on the job as a contractor, was searching for equipment in a private school. He was led around by school employees and was eventually shown to a small, dark room that had been concealed by a vending machine. The school employees moved the vending machine and opened the locked door for our client to enter. As our client entered the room he stepped
into a hole and fell through to the next floor. He sustained multiple injuries and was transported to the local hospital. Our client is running his medical expenses under a workers’ compensation claim while our office pursues a negligence claim against the school.
