Mr. Kemprowski from Jackson NJ got his hand horribly cut when working at the Yankees new Stadium. He was using an electric hand saw when it kicked back at him and cut his wrist down to the bone. His case was filed in the supreme court in the Bronxe. He said the accident was caused because the saws were did not have the safety guard that prevented the saw from duing what it did. His friends on the construction team notified him that the day after he got hurt the saws were fixed and then were given the guards. He though is not the only one who gotten hurt. Donald Hyde was driving a forklift as he was directed under a beam. The said beam was to low for the forklif to fit and as a result crushing his hand. and Peter Mcgeough got a concrete pillars fell on him and hurt his back and neck.
