I would at least speak with an attorney

When he gets here mid/late September we will discuss further about legal issues. I asked him briefly about the cost of the rehab center, etc. He said that the claims are being billed Medicare 1st, his secondary insurance 2nd, then whatever they don't cover then Habitat for Humanity is covering. Since his daughter is POA in Virginia (while he was vented), we are not really discussing finances yet. His spirits remain high.
He does remember the event (fall). He lost his balance while applying boards to the roof. Regained his balance and another man reached for him and threw them both off balance and they both fell. The other guy (was the Supervisor of Habitat for Humanity for that job site). He had broken bones- but no permanent damage and visited Benny in the hospital. Two other women were injuried when debris fell on them as the two men fell to the ground. As far as I know- no permanent damage but broken bones.
