Who Pays When an Employee Dies: The Cirque Du Soleil Tragedy
For the first time in Cirque Du Soleil’s 29-year history, a performer died last month when she fell during an aerial sequence in the show “KA” in Las Vegas. This wasn’t just a shock for the audience, but also a test of the entire Cirque business.
It also made me ask the question, “Who pays when an employee dies on the job?” Every business owner should use this sad event as a reminder that employee safety – and insurance coverage for accidents – is required in every business.
