Pottsgrove, PA On the Job School Accident Kills Worker
According to an article, a grounds crew worker for the Pottsgrove School District was killed on June 16 when a lawn mower fell on him.
The worker suffered a head injury while he was repairing the mower at the Lower Pottsgrove Elementary school and he was taken to Pottstown Memorial Medical Center. Luckily, no young children were in the area when the accident happened.
The family of this grounds crew worker would be well advised to contact an experienced workers’ compensation Pennsylvania attorney who can carefully examine the incident to identify any negligence or wrongdoing. An experienced attorney would also look into a “third party claim.” These are claims that are filed against parties that are not the worker’s employer. It could be a contractor, a sub-contractor, or even the manufacturer of a defective product. If it is determined that one of those parties was responsible for the accident and death, then they could be held liable.
Any worker who has sustained an injury arising out of and in the course of their employment has a potential workers’ compensation claim. The injury can occur while traveling on business, doing a work-related errand, attending a required business-related social function, or even while on a break or using restroom facilities and you are still legally covered by workers compensation.
