Construction Accident - $13.375 Million Settlement for Survivor of Fall From Roof of a Building due to the Defective Repair of a Scaffold

The NYC Personal Injury Lawyers at Antin, Ehrlich and Epstein obtained a settlement of $13.375 Million, on behalf of a window washer who miraculously survived a fall from the roof of a 47 story building, against the owner of the building owner and the scaffolding company responsible.

The injured worker’s case was settled after a New York Judge ruled that the building owner and a scaffolding company were responsible for the fall which also resulted in the death of the worker's brother. The family chose the New York Personal Injury Law firm of Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein.

The court found the building owner and the scaffolding company liable for the 47-story plunge of the window-washing unit from the roof of the Upper East Side building when the cables supporting the scaffolding gave way.
