Iowa worker Trinidad, dies after fall and OSHA-IOSH fines employer $375,000

By Steve Lombardi

The Register reports the Clear Lake company we posted on previously for the death of a worker, Simon Trinidad, a 35 year-old when he fell into a metal hopper, was fined by IOSH in the amount of $375,000. Apparently this is the second time this company has been fined for a similar violation. The company is Andrews Prestressed Concrete in Clear Lake, Iowa.

These types of claims are easier for the workers' compensation death claims than the third-party or gross negligence cases. We've had good experience on third party claims and some luck with gross negligence claims against the co-employees or supervisors.

Clear Lake Company issued a fine for the death of a worker who fell into an open hopper, is linkked to the Lombardi Law Firm news item.
