NY Construction Accident Injuries
Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorney Douglas A. Milch obtained a $6,750,000 settlement on behalf of two asbestos workers who sustained serious back injuries when they fell from a scaffold.
As a result of the upper scaffold work platform breaking, and the whiplash effect of being caught by the harness in midair, they suffered serious spinal injuries. Douglas was able to secure this substantial recovery by demonstrating that the scaffold and fall protection devices failed to provide the statutorily required safety, resulting in significant spinal trauma to both workers.
