Construciton Worker to Receive $21-Million After Paralyzing Fall

An Iowa construction worker who was hurt in a fall while building Qwest Center Omaha has been awarded $21 million for his injuries.

His attorney said Bacon fell 12 feet while working on second-floor fire escape and broke his back, making him a paraplegic.
