Construction site injuries from falling objects can cause permanent damage to workers' backs and spines. These accidents often result from safety violations and inadequate protection measures. When construction companies fail to follow proper safety protocols, workers pay the price with devastating injuries that can end careers and strain families financially.
Client's Case
A skilled masonry worker's career was forever altered when struck by a massive concrete pouring tube at a Bronx County construction site. The defendants denied responsibility for years, claiming they followed all safety procedures and dismissing the incident as unavoidable. We immediately recognized this as a clear violation of New York Labor Law Section 240, known as the Scaffold Law, which protects workers from height-related hazards including falling objects. After extensive depositions, we successfully moved for summary judgment, convincing the judge that liability was clear-cut. Despite our client having no surgical procedures performed, we argued his herniated discs would likely require future surgery. The case settled for $900,000 before trial, providing substantial compensation rare in cases without surgical intervention.
