Operation Hard Hat: Slowing Down Saves Lives in New York Work Zones 🚧

New York State Police and the New York State Department of Transportation are continuing “Operation Hard Hat” to enforce work zone safety across the state. The initiative targets dangerous driving behaviors like speeding, distracted driving, and failure to move over in active construction zones. Construction zones are active job sites—slow down, stay alert, and protect the workers who keep our roads safe.

Annual initiative targets speeding in construction zones as warmer weather brings increased roadwork

Pazer Epstein Jaffe Fein & Gozenput, P.C. is proud to announce a $2,450,000 recovery on behalf of a construction worker injured at a Manhattan job site.

Our client sustained serious and permanent injuries after falling into an unprotected construction pit when the ladder beneath him shifted unexpectedly. The accident caused significant spinal injuries, years of medical treatment, and ultimately lumbar fusion surgery.

Our firm successfully obtained Summary Judgment on liability, establishing the defendants’ responsibility for the accident under New York Labor Law.

After two unsuccessful mediations, Partner Eugene Gozenput prepared the case for trial and positioned it for jury selection. Through his thorough preparation and continued advocacy, the matter ultimately settled just prior to jury selection, securing a significant recovery for our client after years of litigation and recovery.

We are proud of the result and honored to have helped our client obtain the compensation he deserved.

$2,750,000 TRIP AND FALL SETTLEMENT

Pazer, Epstein, Jaffe, Fein & Gozenput, P.C. is proud to announce a $2,750,000 settlement obtained on behalf of a client who sustained devastating orthopedic injuries as a result of a dangerous and defective roadway condition near an active utility work site in New York City.

Following the incident, our client suffered severe injuries to her ankle that ultimately required multiple surgical procedures over the course of several years, including internal fixation surgery, hardware removal procedures, arthroscopic intervention and ultimately a total ankle replacement. The injuries caused significant pain, mobility limitations and permanent effects on her daily life and independence.

Through extensive litigation, deposition testimony and discovery, our firm developed substantial evidence concerning the hazardous roadway condition and the responsibility for maintaining the area in a reasonably safe condition. The matter was ultimately resolved at mediation prior to trial by partner Eugene Gozenput. Partner Matthew J. Fein handled the depositions and discovery proceedings throughout the litigation.
