$1.85 million settlement secured for a construction worker who was injured when construction materials fell from a pallet and struck him at a New York job site.
The Perecman Firm secured a $1,850,000 settlement for a construction worker who was injured when a load of cinder blocks fell from a pallet jack during construction operations at a New York job site.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §241(6), including the failure to properly secure and transport construction materials in a safe manner. The case involved unsafe conditions related to the movement of heavy materials across an uneven work surface, which caused the load to shift and fall onto the worker.
The case resolved for $1.85 million following litigation led by Peter Rigelhaupt. The recovery provided substantial compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the long-term impact of his injuries.
