Case Details

Worker tripped over warped floor covering caused by negligent maintenance at construction site. Our client was assembling the baggage carousel at the new International Terminal of the Philadelphia Airport. As Plaintiff was pushing a tool called a roust-about, he tripped on a warped piece of masonite that was used to protect the terrazzo floor. When he fell, he struck his left shoulder directly on the roust-about. The Plaintiff sustained a rotator cuff tear that required surgery. The contractor for the terrazzo floors was held responsible. The contractor placed 1/4 inch thick sheets of masonite over the flooring to protect it. They had notice by memorandums that the masonite was in poor condition, warped and damaged by water. By contract, they were responsible for the maintenance of the masonite and ultimately held liable for Plaintiff's injuries.
