An unfortunate accident occurred yesterday at the construction site of the Convention Center in Downtown Indianapolis. Stanley Roberts, 55, Indianapolis, Indiana was killed while operating a boom lift. Initial reports indicate that Roberts was thrown from the basket and fell about 50 feet. While Roberts was wearing a harness, it was not securely attached.
Under Indiana law and pursuant to most commercial construction contracts, a general contractor has a duty to maintain jobsite safety.
