Botanical Gardens Subcontractor Having More Problems

Pioneer Concrete Plumbing Service, Inc. was involved in last year's tragic collapse of a skywalk which was under construction at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.  Evidently, that was not the only workplace accident they have been involved in.

They are being sued by Juan Manuel Cuevas in Cobb County over another workplace accident in 2007.  Mr. Cuevas was working for Mark's Foundation, Inc, which has joined him in this suit.  A Pioneer employee was working with Cuevas in Woodstock, Georgia.  Cuevas was knocked off a wall and injured.  Unfortunately, under Georgia Workers' Comp Law, Cuevas will be limited to recovering money for medical expenses and lost wages.  Even more unfortunate, Mark's Foundation will be seeking to recover the benefits it paid to Cuevas.  So while the workers' comp insurance companies use Cuevas to recover money they have paid, the injured employee may be left with nothing.
