A Pasadena construction worker who continues to suffer from the effects of a traumatic brain injury has reached a settlement that will provide for his living expenses and cover the cost of his psychological and neurological rehabilitation.

The 65-year-old construction worker was pouring cement when the cement house became clogged. When the plug finally dislodged, the hose whipped out of the man’s hands and struck him on the head. The worker lost consciousness and was taken to a nearby hospital. Doctors diagnosed a cranial bleed, but weeks later the worker needed surgery in order to stop the bleeding. To this day he continues to suffer from the effects of his injury.

An investigation found that the cement pump operator failed to follow safety regulations when encountering a plug and failed to communicate properly with the cement finishers.

The victim’s attorneys plan to file a separate lawsuit against the general contractor for failing to maintain a safe working environment.
