"Kavin Gill and another employee of DeBest Plumbing Inc.
rescued Dwight Kaufman after a dirt trench wall collapsed on him. Dwight
Kaufman's head was buried underneath the dirt so Kavin Gill dug the dirt out

dollars because they didn't take the proper safety precautions against other
walls falling before they went and rescued Dwight."
