Brooklyn Construction Site Accident
Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorneys Stephen Wagner and Erin Hurley obtained a settlement of $3,950,000.00 for a New Jersey laborer immediately before trial in Kings County, New York.
A private mediation held one week before trial failed to resolve the case. However, due to our attorneys’ tireless efforts preparing for trial, the defendants increased their offer, enabling us to resolve the case favorably for our client.
Our client, a 32-year-old laborer, was injured in a construction accident when he was working at Brooklyn job site. His co-workers were pouring a cement deck above the area where he was working when the deck partially collapsed. As a result, wet cement, plywood, and a metal beam fell and struck the plaintiff.
Our client underwent back surgery with hardware, shoulder surgery, knee surgery, and developed post-traumatic stress disorder from his ordeal.
