Construction Accident

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.

Construction Accident

Our client was an experienced laborer foreman working on a project installing water main pipes for Aqua, a water company. Since the project was on an active roadway, the trench had to be filled everyday and the road re-paved for traffic. Our client was working in the trench when 100 pounds of dirt collapsed from the wall and buried him up to his knee. The trench required bracing due to its depth, but the defendants failed to properly brace it, causing the collapse. OSHA has strict standards and regulations for construction sites to ensure the safety of workers. These regulations include excavation safety. The OSHA regulations state that if a trench is 5 feet deep or greater and not in stable rock, then the walls of the trench must be supported by some type of bracing, such as timber shoring or a trench box. Adams Renzi Law hired Stephen Estrin, a top notch expert in construction site safety who has 40+ years experience in the construction field. Estrin testified that the company violated the OSHA regulation because the trench was at least 5 feet deep and required some type of shoring, which was not done. Our client had a lumbar fusion surgery with Richard Kanoff, M.D., a neurosurgeon at Mercy Fitzgerald, and a replacement of his ankle joint by Dr. Harold Schoenhaus. There was a jury verdict finding Miniscalco Construction 75% at fault, Aqua 12.5% at fault and Plaintiff 12.5% at fault for the incident. Partners, Nicholas Renzi and Christy Adams tried this matter to verdict for one week in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

Construction Accident

A cement mason descended a job-built ladder on a construction site when the top rung pulled loose, causing him to fall 15 feet to the ground, sustaining a severe hand injury. The sub-contractor who built the ladder for the job site was held responsible for using weak nails, causing the ladder rung to pull loose when pressure was applied. Upon learning of the incident, attorney Christy Adams, immediately responded by going to the construction site and asking the job to preserve the ladder for inspection. Due to the preservation efforts, we were able to determine the cause of the fall due to weak nails.
