Does your work place take care of its employees if they are hurt on the job?

Evidently San Fransisco doesn't feel it should cover medical expenses for workers hurt by animals at the zoo. Following is a quote from the website.

"On Dec. 22, 2006, Tatiana reached through the bars of her cage and grabbed a keeper, biting and mauling one of the woman's arms and causing deep lacerations. The zoo's Lion House was temporarily closed during an investigation.

California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health blamed the zoo for the assault and imposed a $18,000 penalty. A medical claim filed against the city by the keeper was denied."

The city paid a fine for the incident but the worker was not compensated for her medical bills!

This same tigress recently killed one man and mauled two others. That should prove she was aggressive. But the city refused to pay the workers medical bills. I hope the place you work is more compassionate!
