JUST IN: Peter Monsini, who died in a tragic accident at a Boston construction site Saturday, was not the first worker to be seriously injured on a JDC Demolition Co. worksite.
The scene Tuesday morning after the fatal Government Center Garage collapse over the weekend. The accident killed 51-year-old construction worker Peter Monsini. But Monsini was not the first worker to be seriously injured on a worksite overseen by Brockton-based JDC Demolition Co. Saturday, was not the first worker to be seriously injured on a JDC Demolition Co. worksite.
"As the project went along, there started to be signs that the plaster ceilings were being damaged," said David McCormack, the Ramirez family's lawyer. But those in charge did not address the issue, he said, and a giant chunk of debris fell on Ramirez. JDC in its response to the suit said it"fully complied with all of its contractual terms with Suffolk Construction and that all demolition was conducted in a professional and workmanlike manner with all demolition debris being properly cleaned up."In a third case, a worker slipped and fell and received a $300,000 settlement after shattering his ankle.
"We're involved in the investigation and it's early stages," said Jim Borghesani, spokesman for Suffolk County DA Kevin Hayden."We'll be involved throughout."
