New York Construction Accident
Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorneys Carmine J. Goncalves and Erin K. Hurley obtained a $3.485 million settlement plus a full waiver of his workers' compensation lien, for a seriously injured concrete worker. Our client was struck in the neck and back by a Doka beam and other materials which fell due to inadequate shoring of forms used for concrete decking. He suffered multiple herniated discs in his neck and back, and required two level lumbar fusion surgery and a single level cervical fusion surgery. He also had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
