$7,000,000 settlement secured for a construction worker who was injured after falling from an unstable A-frame ladder while performing demolition work at a New York job site.
The Perecman Firm secured a $7,000,000 settlement for a construction worker who was injured after falling from an A-frame ladder while performing demolition work at a New York construction site. The worker was removing materials when the ladder shifted and twisted beneath him, causing him to lose his balance and fall.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), which requires proper protection against elevation-related hazards. The case involved issues related to ladder stability and job site safety during demolition operations.
The case resolved for $7 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.
