Just found out that my cousin Ernie's kid Jake had a really bad accident while at work... He took a 20-ft ladder.... Then braced it on a 15-ft scaffolding.... That's 35 feet up altogether... Then he put an air conditioning unit on his shoulder ... Then he climbs to the top of the ladder and just when he reached the top of that building... The scaffolding shifted.... Jake fell 35 ft straight down..... Onto a pile of construction trash that probably saved his life... Anyway after he landed on the ground the air conditioning unit landed on top of his torso... He has a fractured skull... One broken shoulder one dislocated shoulder.. one fractured knee.. two broken legs... Four fractured ribs and a broken sternum... Two crushed vertebra... And his right hand was shattered by part of that air conditioning unit... Almost every bone in the hand was broken... And the human hand has quite a lot of bones... Jake is of course in intensive care... With a whole lot of morphine in him... In and out of consciousness... What makes this worse is that Ernie said Jake's boss ordered him to do this... The company fired the boss immediately... And they already reached out with a pretty big settlement....$5 million is the first offer.. Ernie called the family's lawyer and the lawyer just laughed... He said $5 million was just a starting point... Anyway Jake is in no condition to discuss the conditions of his lawsuit right now... I would have thought this whole thing was impossible until I saw a guy on YouTube do almost exactly the same thing... Except the air conditioning unit missed him on the way down... The air conditioning unit Jake was carrying hit him straight in the torso... Anyway that was a few days ago I just found out about it myself... Ernie said the doctors told him that Jake will never be completely okay again... He'll always likely be in pain the rest of his life... That's a hard way to earn millions of dollars...
