County Employee Steps in Hole During Inspection
JUNE 2006 - A settlement valued at over $295,000 was obtained to the favor of an employee of Hillsborough County, Florida who stepped in a hole while performing his work as an inspector. The employee, a twenty-year veteran of roadway construction, was inspecting the expansion of Providence Road in Brandon when he encountered a depression in the asphalt and, after walking to the curb, stepped in a hole associated with the depression. The third-party action was brought outside of workers' compensation and against the general contractor in charge of the expansion project. The case was resolved just a few months before trial.
