Enfield v. Charney Architects and Shawmut Design and Construction, et al. Â (Filed New Haven, 2012
Due to the defendants’ ordering and approval of the wrong parts, the plaintiff and other steelworkers could not adequately secure the improperly fabricated steel beams. According to our construction safety engineer, the responsibility for design and planning was on the defendants who failed in their responsibility and left the steelworkers in an unprotected and dangerous position. Specifically, the beams were ordered without securing holes to put bolts through. As a result, the steelworkers were left trying to stabilize the beams with wires which proved fatal to one worker, and caused massive injury to three others.
