A construction worker in Brooklyn fell some 14 feet from a scaffold while on the job. The fall caused a traumatic brain injury and damaged his neck and lower back. He needed several surgeries to fuse his spine, and he will need to manage chronic pain for the rest of his life. The defense pushed back hard. They claimed his injuries were nothing more than paper cuts. To back up that claim, they brought in a team of doctors to question how serious his condition really was. Their goal was to convince the jury that our client was exaggerating his injuries.
The trial lasted four weeks. We built a strong case using clear medical evidence and honest, compelling testimony. By the end, we had exposed the holes in the defense’s argument and showed the jury exactly how much this accident had cost our client and his family. The jury sided with us. Our client also received full compensation for his lost wages, future medical care, and the hardship his family endured because of this life-changing accident.
