On May 12, 2011, at age 58, John Barrow was working at a coal mine in Equality, Illinois when two employees of the mine owner's contractor, Temper Fabricators, LLC, left multiple steel-reinforced hydra ... ulic hoses unattended and placed across the concrete walkway inside the entrance to the mine’s main warehouse. Mr. Barrow fell while walking into the warehouse from the sunlit exterior and stepping onto one of the inflexible hoses, which rolled out from under him. Barrow landed unbraced on his lower back (between his L4-L5 vertebrae). Mr. Barrow underwent a spinal fusion as a result of his fall, though this procedure did not resolve his pain and cause Barrow life-inhibiting side effects. Mr. Barrow brought a negligence claim against the contractor. Kimberlee Barrow raised derivative loss of consortium claims.
