New York City’s construction industry depends on immigrant labor. Undocumented workers make up a large percentage of the workforce, often taking on the most dangerous tasks at building sites. With cranes, scaffolds, power tools, and heavy machinery surrounding them every day, the risk of serious injury is high.

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).
