Case Details

Herb L., 62 years old, was a maintenance man at a Long Island shopping mall. While one of the stores in the mall was undergoing renovation, Herb was watching workmen lift a large ventilation unit to the second floor with a portable gantry crane. One of the crane’s legs broke, knocking Herb down an escalator and rendering him a paraplegic.

Additional Notes

Chiariello &Chiariello commenced an action against the mall, crane operator, and general contractor at the job site. The firm even assisted Herb in having his house renovated to accommodate his wheelchair. Herb L. settled his case for a total settlement of $3 million, and a portion of that money was used to buy Herb an annuity which would give him an income for the rest of his life.
