Last year, I lived in the room directly across from the window where Mr. Montano fell, Guthridge 716.

But window installers should be wearing harnesses. And well, unless his failed, he probably wasn’t wearing one.

This would be the safety officers responsibility, thus, Clark and the sub would be responsible, even though this person should have been wearing it.

GW probably requested non-union contractors (to lower costs).

Sorry to hear about your uncle. I work for a plaintiff’s firm so I may be able to point you in the right direction.(this is not legal advice, just general info) OSHA will launch a full investigation as they always do in these types of accidents. Often the final reports take a good while to complete. They contain pretty detailed information but often much of the information is redacted for privacy reasons. You yourself as an indirect relative may not be able to get a copy that is not redacted but his wife, for example, will likely be able to. Also, the local police will generally conduct an investigation of their own and that is easier to get and is generally completed much sooner. At first glance, I would say that your family should talk to an attorney (I want to stress that this is not a sales pitch. I just came across this article and thought I could help you with some general info) because based on the little bit of info in the article I can spot several OSHA violations that the subcontractor and or general contractor may be have some liability on. If your family is even considering the possibility of a wrongful death suit, you need to find an attorney ASAP and that attorney, if they are good, will hire an accident specialist and will get you the answers to any questions that you have. This will cost you nothing in most cases, and if you have unanswered questions, this will certainly help. Most of us in this field work on a contingency fee basis so you really have nothing to lose. If it turns out that the company your uncle worked for is responsible, you will be happy your hired an attorney so soon (waiting just results in lost evidence every time) but if it turns out that the company your uncle worked for didn’t do anything wrong then you the case goes away, you get the answers to your questions, and you don’t owe the law firm anything, at least, that’s how our firm handles these types of cases. Some lesser reputable firms will try to place the blame on anyone and everyone possible just to make some money, but we only proceed in cases where there is a definitive violation of a legal duty owed to the employee. I hope that info helps and best of luck to your family during this rough time.
