Labor Law Violation - $425,000 Settlement for Plasterer Fall from Scaffold
This personal injury labor law case was successfully resolved despite evidence that the accident was solely our client's fault for knowingly using a scaffold that was too big for the area he was working in instead of using a smaller ladder which would have fit into the space better and was readily available.
The plaintiff, a plasterer, was seriously injured when the scaffold he was working upon tilted, causing the plaintiff to fall to the ground. He fractured his left foot, and subsequently underwent a fusion requiring bone grafting.
The case was settled on the eve of trial for $425,000 plus a complete waiver of the workers' compensation lien.
