$2,050,000 settlement secured for a construction worker who was injured after falling from a scaffold when falling debris caused the structure to become unstable.
The Perecman Firm secured a $2,050,000 settlement for a construction worker who was injured after falling from a scaffold when falling debris caused the structure to become unstable at a New York construction site.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), which requires proper protection for workers exposed to elevation-related hazards. The case involved the failure to secure materials and maintain a stable working platform, resulting in both a falling object hazard and a fall from height.
The case resolved for $2.05 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."
