NY Construction Accident
Just before jury selection, Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorneys Erin Hurley and Thomas Brennan reached a settlement of $2,515,000 for our Brazilian client who was injured when he tripped on a two by four piece of wood sticking out from a large debris pile while he was carrying a sheet of plywood.
Earlier in the litigation, Erin's motion for summary judgment was granted. Our client had meniscus tears in both knees, which required arthroscopic surgeries, a torn cartilage in his shoulder, for which he received arthroscopic surgery, and bulging lumbar discs, which were addressed with conservative treatment.
