Thank you. I knew it was out there somewhere.

It would be nice to know what caused the accident.

It would be nice to know what caused the accident.

And what kind of work the employer does and the number of employees.

They were some major injuries for a fall. How tall was the ladder and what was your boyfriend doing on the ladder?

That section is for training in the use of "fall protection systems". If you read the section on fall protection system you will see that a ladder does not fit the definition.

Whatever happened, the injuries suffered by Tabatha86’s boyfriend are severe enough that a personal injury lawyer should be consulted. The attorney will investigate the accident and cause and should be able to tell the boyfriend if the employer (or ladder maker, etc) can be held liable or share in liability.

I hope Tabatha returns to fill in some blanks for us.

I agree, though I'd suggest starting with a worker's comp lawyer to ensure that there isn't some recourse there. With worker's comp there is no need to prove negligence.

I have no problems with that, even though I suspect the employer isn’t covered.

The employer might not be. But as I don't know that state's law, I can't eliminate the possibility that the worker's comp law might still provide a remedy for an injured worker against the uncovered employer without the need to prove negligence. That kind of remedy would provide further incentive for employers to ensure they are covered by worker's comp insurance.

I provided a link to the law in an earlier post.

Accessible from the first link, here is a direct link to Alabama’s Workers Compensation Act:
