$3,000,000 settlement secured for a construction worker who was seriously injured when demolition debris fell into an elevator shaft and struck him while he was working below.
The Perecman Firm secured a $3,000,000 settlement for a construction worker who was seriously injured after demolition debris fell into an elevator shaft and struck him while he was performing work below.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §§240(1) and 241(6), including the failure to properly secure the work area and protect workers from falling debris during demolition operations. The case involved unsafe demolition practices and the failure to properly cover or safeguard the elevator shaft where the worker was performing his job.
The case resolved for $3 million following litigation led by Adam Hurwitz. The recovery provided substantial compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the long-term impact of his injuries.
