A wind-swept solar panel flew off a Brooklyn carport, striking a woman in the head and leaving her dead, city investigators ruled Monday. The large panel, roughly 3-feet by 7-feet, came off its frame at a parking lot in Brighton Beach Sunday morning around 10:30 a.m. and smacked the woman in the head.
Wrongful death lawsuits from the victim's family. An OSHA investigation in California found that a solar installation company failed to provide fall protection, leading to a worker's death from a 30-foot fall. The employer was fined $150,000 and faced a wrongful death lawsuit from the worker's family.
When a worker dies in a solar-related accident, families may pursue legal action. Options include workers' compensation claims or wrongful death settlements, helping cover medical expenses, lost wages, and providing financial stability. Workers' compensation provides benefits to employees injured on the job, regardless of fault.
