At 10:00 a.m. on December 5, 2020, Employee #1, employed by Dolores Borquez DBA Borquez Demolition, was demolishing a detached residential garage when they fell approximately 8 feet from wooden framing to a concrete floor below. Employee #1 was prying loose a wooden beam when the beam broke, causing him to lose balance and fall.
