Commentary
There are two many questions that need to be answered before we start looking for who may be liable for the accident. The news reports lists the two men who were injured in the accident as contract employees. That may not be the case. Companies will sometimes list employees as contract workers in order to avoid taxes on their salaries. We don’t know if that’s the case here, but if it were, there are some other questions we’d need to start asking. Is the employer who’s willing to lie about the status of his employees to save a few dollars the person who’s going to spend money on top of the line equipment and training for those same people? Probably not. Again, we have no evidence that anything below board is going on here, but it’s worth looking into.
