Worker Loses Arm in North Lauderdale Accident
Posted on Jan 30, 2012
A mid-40’s man is recovering after undergoing surgery for a severed arm while working at a waste water pumping station in North Lauderdale. The man was reportedly conscious and taken to Broward General Medical Center where surgery was performed.
According to Jennifer Johnson, a spokesperson for the city of North Lauderdale, the worker who was employed by Butler National Services was at the pumping station at Hampton Pines Park when his arm was severed about mid-wrist below his elbow.
Curt Beadle, president of Fort-Lauderdale- based Butler National Services Inc., visited the man in the hospital. The name of the man has not been released at this time pending notification of the man’s relatives.
Butler National Services has provided maintenance and management of the city’s wastewater pumping station for many years.
The accident is being investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The Law Office of David Benenfeld would like to wish the man injured in this accident a speedy recovery.

FAQs
Workers' Compensation
- I fell from a height at work. I suffered broken bones, but now my knee is hurting. Is it possible that a knee injury may not have shown up right away? If so, what should I do to get the necessary workers’ comp benefits?
- I was severely burned in Broward County at work. It has been a slow and painful recovery, and my income has dropped. Am I eligible for workers compensation from my job?
- I was injured while lifting something at work. Some have said that it must be my fault and I probably wont get workers compensation. Is that true?
