Liability Issues Hover Over Iowa RFC Relief Projects
The Iowa Industrial Commissioner weighs whether Cedar Rapids and Linn County must cover workers injuries on city and county RFC projects. Sam Smith of 611 Fifth Avenue SE fractured his right hand when a plank fell at the North Western stone quarry job. County funds paid medical care and Smith later reopened work on a RFC site under county supervision. The county carries workers liability insurance. the city does not.
