$1,900,000.00 settlement secured for a construction worker who was injured after tripping while attempting to exit a trench due to unsafe and obstructed access at a New York job site.
The Perecman Firm secured a $1,900,000.00 settlement for a construction worker who was injured while attempting to exit a trench at a New York construction site.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §241(6), including the failure to provide a safe and unobstructed means of access for workers exiting below-ground work areas. The case involved hazardous site conditions, including obstructed pathways and debris that created a dangerous tripping hazard during egress.
The case resolved for $1,900,000.00 following litigation led by Adam Hurwitz. The recovery provided compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the long-term impact of his injuries.
