$2,175,000 settlement secured for a construction worker who was injured after being blown from an elevated rooftop work area while performing installation work at a New York job site.
The Perecman Firm secured a $2,175,000 settlement for a construction worker who was seriously injured after falling from an elevated rooftop work area while performing mechanical installation work at a New York building.
The accident occurred when strong wind conditions caused the worker to lose balance while handling materials on the roof. The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), which requires proper fall protection for workers exposed to elevation-related hazards. The case involved the failure to provide adequate safety devices such as harnesses, lifelines, or guardrails to protect workers performing tasks at height.
The case resolved for $2.175 million following litigation led by Adam Hurwitz. The recovery provided substantial compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the long-term impact of his injuries.
