These are recent true stories taken from the California-OSHA Reporter:
A worker fell more than 500 feet to his death from a communications tower while installing a safety ladder.
A 47 year old worker was impaled on a branch and died after falling when his ladder slipped.
A young worker died after he fell through a skylight opening in the roof while working on a commercial job.
An older worker was killed while working on a roof that collapsed under him.
In California the grieving widows from these tragedies would receive a paltry $224 per week from Worker’s Compensation. That will not even pay the rent. The average civil award in similar circumstances would exceed $500,000 and might exceed a million dollars. As a dependent of a worker killed in the line of duty you , may be entitled to both.
One third of all construction related deaths are due to falls on the job site. Falls often involve a number of factors, including unstable working surfaces, lack of fall protection equipment and hidden fall hazards. Only the contractors have the control over the site to provide a safe work environment. The workers should be able to rely on the contractor providing a safe work place. If a loved one has been killed or you have been hurt, you may be entitled to monetary compensation that is not covered by Workers’ Compensation benefits.
