A 64-year-old construction worker suffered a serious accident when a 300-pound electrical box fell directly on him. We were able to establish that the box had been inadequately secured, leaving it vulnerable to falling at any moment. On top of that, the worker had not been given the proper safety equipment he needed to protect himself on the job. The injuries he sustained were extensive, affecting nearly every part of his body. His road to recovery was long and difficult, requiring five separate surgical procedures just to begin addressing the damage caused by the accident.
Over the course of a few years, we worked to build a strong case, gather the necessary evidence, and hold the responsible parties accountable for their failure to keep him safe. That effort included a mediation process, where we continued pushing to make sure our client’s voice was heard and his suffering was properly recognized. In the end, our persistence paid off. We negotiated a favorable settlement of $3,000,000, a result that reflected both the severity of his injuries and the years of hard work it took to get him the justice he deserved.
