New York Construction Accident - Ladder Fall Accident
WRSMH attorneys Carmine J. Goncalves and Erin K. Hurley secured $2.75 million for our client, a demolition laborer from Brazil. Our client was descending a ladder when it wobbled and moved, causing him to fall to the concrete floor below. As a result, he injured one knee, both shoulders, his back, and his neck. He suffered a torn meniscus in one knee requiring surgery, SLAP tears in both shoulders requiring surgery to both shoulders, and cervical and lumbar disc herniations for which he had injections and surgery to fuse his sacroiliac joint. The case settled after WRSMH filed a summary judgment motion.
