A Pennsylvania workers compensation board has ruled in favor of a workers compensation recipient who was being denied workers compensation because distant work, for which he had no transportation, was theoretically available to him.

The worker testified that his household had only one car, which was used by his wife during regular daytime working hours, making it difficult for him to find work.  The workers former employer filed a petition saying that a survey had found that work was available in the area, which a judge granted, saying that a lack of transportation to the job was "largely irrelevent."  The workers compensation board disagreed with the judge, and granted the man workers compensation benefits.

Two workers had to be recently taken to the hospital following an accident that took place on the roof of the newly built Dallas Cowboys stadium.  The workers were performing their job when both of the workers fell.  The workers slid for nearly 250 feet suffering injuries from the slide and fall.  The workers almost fell completely off the rood had it not been for a gutter which stopped the workers from going any further.
