Crow was a steel worker working on the fifth story of a fifteen-story apartment project. His employer, Nu-Dimensions Inc., provided all workers with helmets as required by law to protect employees from falling objects that frequently fall from the top floors. One day, because of the intense heat, Crow removed his helmet and worked “bare-headed” while the supervisor was off site. A large bolt fell from the employer’s construction crane and hit crow on the head, fracturing his skull. Could Crow collect money for his injuries due to this on-the-job incident?
