I am being investigated by the Virginia Dept of Labor with regard to employing an under age minor who was inju?
The job consisted of helping me load/unload my personal belongings into a rental truck, then unloading the truck at a shed in another county about 20 miles away. As a result of an accident a serious injury occurred to a 15 year old. He was treated at a hospital for burns to his face from acid. Surgery involving skin grafts on two small areas of his face area were required. Injuries are not disfiguring and do not appear to be permanent. I provided first aid at the scene which basically involved flushing out his eyes with bottled water from an ice chest and calling an ambulance.
I am looking at the Administrative Law in Virginia with regard to employment of minors. I responded to this kid's flyer which promoted his Odd Job Squad. He appeared to be a very bright, responsible entrepreneur. His parents knew of his activity because their kid had distributed a flyer a week earlier that promoted his father's insurance business.
Should I meet with the state investigator without a lawyer present? It looks like the penalty could range from $1,000 to $10,000. This case did not involve negligence on my part. Nobody at the scene knew there was acid in a glass bottle in the box which the kid deliberately dropped.
Neither myself nor the friend giving me permission to store my belongings in her shed knew of the hazardous material. It belonged to the ex-husband of the property owner who was dragging his feet about getting rid of the junk and debris. He used the sulphuric acid in his metal sculpting business.

The kid working for me had to have dropped the box so that there was enough force to shatter the sealed and labeled bottle.

Get a lawyer, do not take a chance on this.
The rules for an employee handling of hazmat requires them to be over 18 years of age period as well as requiring the provision of the employee with MSDS information about the hazmat. Failure to give MSDS is considered negligence.
If the acid was not there and there was some other type of injury, it wouldn't be so bad highering the neighbor kid but this....
This could get really ugly, good luck.
Edit - I'm not saying that it is your fault in any way or that you were negligent at all.
Unfortunately over zealous investigators can make this claim, and the Dpt. of labor is one of those entities that acts as judge, jury and executioner.
After that you can file a lawsuit to prove that they are full of crap and nullify their decision in court. But you are guilty until proven innocent, take a lawyer.
