Case Details
A 65 year old concrete carpenter fell approximately 6 feet to the ground when the scaffold upon which he was working suddenly collapsed without warning inside a 71 story luxury condominium building that was under construction in Manhattan.
Additional Notes
Our office successfully made a motion for summary judgment which was granted under §§240 (1) and 241(6) of the Labor Law prior to trial as a result of the owner of said building and its construction manager having failed to provide the plaintiff with proper safety equipment as required under the law. Thereafter, as a result of Plaintiff’s significant injuries to his cervical spine which resulted in eventual surgery with implantation of hardware as well as his continuing loss of wages notwithstanding his age and his expectation that he would continue working as a laborer past the age of 65, we successfully negotiated a $2,630,000 settlement during a mediation of the case before a private mediation company.
