The Perecman Firm secured a $750,000 settlement for a construction worker who was injured after falling from a six-foot A-frame ladder while installing a window frame at a New York construction site. The ladder shifted and became unstable during the work, causing him to fall.
The lawsuit alleged violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), which requires proper protection against elevation-related hazards. The case involved issues concerning ladder stability and job site safety.
The case resolved for $750,000 following litigation led by Eileen Kelly. The recovery provided compensation for the worker’s medical treatment and the lasting effects of his injuries.
