Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorney David M. Hoffman obtained a settlement in the amount of $3,150,000.00 for a 33-year-old demolition worker who was injured in a construction accident when he was caused to fall approximately 8 feet from an unsecured metal A-Frame ladder. The Plaintiff was preparing to dismantle and remove a segment of overhead ductwork when a portion of the ductwork fell from overhead and struck him, causing the Plaintiff and ladder to fall to the ground.

David made a motion for summary judgment regarding liability, which was granted by the Court. As a result of this accident, the plaintiff suffered serious injuries to his neck, lower back, head, shoulder, and knee, which required lumbar spinal surgery and arthroscopic procedures to the shoulder and knee. David managed to successfully resolve this matter at a mediation before the time of trial.

Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorneys Ross Barbour and Konstantin Burshteyn settled a construction accident case for $3,150,000 at pre-trial mediation. The plaintiff, a union plumber, slipped and fell on a wet staircase while accessing a jobsite and injured his lower back.

The plaintiff continued working through the pain for approximately six months before eventually seeking medical treatment and undergoing emergency spinal fusion surgery. Ross and Konstantin were able to argue that despite this being a permanent staircase, it was still a gravity-related hazard, which warranted absolute liability to the premises owner under Labor Law Section 240(1).

Attorney Michael Zisser recently obtained a settlement of $3,000,000 for a 58-year-old union laborer who was injured when a trench in which he was working partially collapsed. As a result of the accident, the plaintiff ultimately underwent an amputation of the left index finger at the PIP joint as well as a cervical fusion. Michael was also able to win summary judgment pursuant to Labor Law 240(1) by demonstrating through testimony and project documents that the trench lacked proper sheeting and shoring, which directly contributed to its collapse.

Attorney Michael Zisser recently obtained a settlement of $3,900,000 for a 44-year-old technician who fell several feet from a ladder while installing a security camera at a parking garage in Queens. As a result of the accident, the plaintiff had to undergo multiple lower back surgeries and revision surgeries due to chronic, unrelenting pain. Michael was able to obtain this settlement while summary judgment motions were pending despite there being significant issues of whether the plaintiff’s work constituted “construction” under the Labor Law and whether he was the sole proximate cause of the accident.

Attorney Michael Zisser recently obtained a settlement of $4,400,000 for a 46-year-old union carpenter who was injured when he was struck by a falling metal beam at a construction site in Hudson Yards. As a result of the accident, plaintiff underwent extensive treatment for a head injury (which we argued constituted a traumatic brain injury), and also underwent surgery to his shoulder and neck, which defendants disputed were related to the accident. We presented significant medical evidence to contradict their defenses regarding medical causation. Michael was also able to win summary judgment pursuant to Labor Law 240(1) by demonstrating that the metal beam was not properly secured prior to falling several feet and striking him.
