Dad, 24, Earning $60K Survives Building Collapse, Wonders If He’ll Get $1M Settlement — Dave Ramsey Says It’s Just 'Gravy On The Biscuit'
Summary
Workplace Accident Louisville Kentucky in Louisville, Kentucky: A 24‑year‑old construction worker named Alan from Louisville, Kentucky was buried under a collapsed building on a large construction campus involving about 30 buildings. He was working in heavy concrete and foundations shortly after excavation when part of the site collapsed, trapping him underground for nearly two hours before coworkers and firefighters rescued him. During his rescue he sustained a broken leg, shoulder injuries, and a small brain bleed; he required ventilation and weeks in a wheelchair before regaining mobility. While recovering, Alan called into "The Ramsey Show" to discuss potential legal settlement options after workers’ compensation covered most of his medical costs and income.
