$1,200,000 settlement obtained for a union electrician who was knocked from a roof by a piece of equipment on a worksite.
The Perecman Firm secured a $1,200,000 settlement for a construction worker who was injured after being struck by equipment and knocked from an elevated rooftop work area at a New York construction site.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), which requires proper safety protections for workers exposed to elevation-related hazards. The case involved the failure to properly secure equipment and protect workers from being struck while working at height.
The case resolved for $1.2 million following litigation led by Adam Hurwitz. The recovery provided compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the long-term impact of his injuries.
