Then one day, a sheet of glass fell and cut his arm. Singh was rushed to the hospital. “I was not provided with any safety gloves, safety shoes, a hard hat. If I had even one of those, maybe I would’ve been saved from that injury.” Singh had a hard time filing for workers’ compensation because his employer denied that he used to work for him. “It was the hardest time I’ve ever had in my life,” said Singh. “I had to go through it all alone. And I was fighting with my own body too.” The claim was eventually approved, but to this day Singh’s arm has not perfectly healed.
