At the time of the accident, Mr. Brooks was tasked with clearing bricks for reclamation at the corner of the building. An unstable section of the roof dislodged, causing a large piece of masonry to fall on him. The 57-year-old sustained severe injuries, including a broken shoulder, 12 broken ribs, spinal injuries, and internal injuries.
