Construction (Site Safety)

A worker is electrocuted on the job site. He has collected significant worker’s compensation benefits and there is a lien. He blames the manufacturer of a junction box for failure to properly instruct end users and for failure to service unit properly. The parties agree to assess only 17% of fault against the manufacturer. This is disclosed to the lien holder during negotiations and becomes an accepted fact in the compromise of the lien.
