NY Construction Accident
Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin attorneys Catherine J. Fiorentino and Carmine Goncalves secured a $4.8 million settlement at jury selection for a Brazilian construction worker who was just 32 years old when he fell 10 feet from a ladder. The accident caused serious injuries to five different body parts, requiring multiple surgeries and leaving him with ongoing pain and limitations seven years later.
Carmine obtained a critical summary judgment victory establishing liability and positioning the case for a damages-only trial. In preparing the case for trial, Catherine developed a comprehensive damages presentation addressing the defense’s challenges to causation and demonstrating the lasting impact of the injuries on our client’s ability to work and his daily life.
