…A 50-year old construction worker got his arm caught in a cement mixer while delivering cement for his employer. It crushed both bones in his forearm which were repaired with a plate and screws. A workers’ compensation award was entered for his medical bills and lost wages. However, the employer illegally failed to have workers’ compensation insurance. After several requests, the Department of Labor & Industry finally agreed to prosecute the uninsured employer. The criminal court ordered the owners of the company to make monthly restitution payments.
