The lawsuit on behalf of the family of David O’Donnell, Local 130 technical engineer who suffered fatal injuries in the June 9th fall at the University of Chicago Hospital Cancer Pavilion project, has been filed today, June 20th, 2024.

The complaints are against the general contractor, Turner Construction Company, and Adjustable Forms Concrete company who was responsible for erecting a massive concrete form pouring system with an attached trailing scaffold situated 30+ feet below the form system for the Ironworkers and technical engineers to work from. The manner in which the scaffold was constructed was incredibly deficient in many respects which are noted in our website's blog. Click the link below to read more on this case.

GWC will continue to report on the findings of this case and has a press conference today, June 20th at 1pm.

GWC Injury Lawyers LLC has been retained to represent the victims of last week’s tragic scaffold failure at the University of Chicago Hospital’s new cancer center. The incident occurred when strong winds caused the scaffolding to detach from the building, resulting in two workers falling over eight stories. This devastating accident has left Jeffrey Spyrka, a Local 1 ironworker, in critical condition in the ICU of the very hospital where he was working. Unfortunately, David O’Donnell, a Local 130 technical engineer, sustained fatal injuries in the fall.

A lawsuit was filed on June 10th to ensure the preservation of crucial evidence at the job site. This is a critical first step to help ensure that these families can get the justice that they so overwhelmingly deserve.

The litigation resulting from this accident will require substantial legal expertise, time, and financial investment to challenge two well-resourced contractors. However, with our extensive experience, resources, and a dedicated team of lawyers and support staff, GWC is fully committed to achieving justice for our clients and will leave no stone unturned.

Partners Louis C. Cairo, Louis Anthony Cairo, and Michael D. Fisher are spearheading both litigated cases. The entire GWC team is praying for Jeffrey Spyrka's recovery and extends heartfelt condolences to the O’Donnell family during this difficult time.
