Tragic Fall From Playhouse Catwalk in West Palm Beach Kills Lighting Technician | FL Workers' Comp. Attorney

A lighting technician at West Palm Beach's Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts was fatally injured in a tragic fall from a 30-foot-high catwalk on December 3, according to the Control Booth website.  Twenty-seven-year-old Fenton "Andy" Hollingsworth had worked at the Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse (which is part of the Center for the Performing Arts) since April 2007.  According to the report, Hollingsworth was working with lighting gear that was mounted on a truss when he fell at the playhouse.  Following the tragic working accident, the lighting tech was pronounced dead at West Palm Beach's St. Mary's Medical Center.  As a wrongful death lawyer and workers' comp. attorney, David Benenfeld expresses his deepest condolences to the family and friends of Andy Hollingsworth.  At Injury Law Service, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
