$1,200,000.00

$1,200,000 settlement obtained for an elevator mechanic who suffered a life-altering back injury on the job.
The Perecman Firm secured a $1,200,000 settlement for an elevator mechanic who was injured after falling inside a hoistway when heavy cables became unsecured and struck him during installation work at a New York construction site.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), which requires proper protection against elevation-related hazards and falling objects. The case involved the failure to properly secure heavy materials and protect workers from both falling and being struck while working at height.
The case resolved for $1.2 million following litigation led by Erica Colon. The recovery provided compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the long-term impact of his injuries.
