Construction Accident
Dariusz H., a Polish immigrant, was the victim of a near-fatal fall from a height-related construction accident back in 2016. Though it didn’t kill him, it inflicted severe spinal injuries requiring multiple surgeries and disabling him for life. This accident was caused by the negligence of one of the contractors, improperly placing a temporary wooden staircase for the workers to use on site. On the day of the accident, the staircase was improperly moved and not secured, unbeknownst to Dariusz, who stepped on it and caused the floor to collapse beneath him. He sustained dramatic injuries as a result, deeming him a tetraplegic for life.
