Trevor Kilgore, a construction worker, sues his employers after a trench collapse left him traumatized and injured, citing serious safety lapses on the job site.
Now, Trevor is suing his employers, claiming they ignored safety rules that could have prevented his injuries. He says the trench was way too deep and didn’t have the proper supports to keep it from caving in. It’s wild to think that something like that could happen, right?
He also points out that there were no inspections done at the site, and they let workers use heavy machinery too close to the edge of the trench. Can you believe they didn’t even have a ladder on site? A firefighter had to bring one to help him out after he was freed.
Trevor’s lawsuit names several companies and individuals, including the owner of the subcontractor he worked for. It’s a big deal, especially since there have been other serious accidents in the area. Just last year, another worker got a huge payout after a similar incident. It really makes you think about safety on construction sites and how important it is to follow the rules.
