CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT: $895,000 Recovery
WRS partner Cliff Shapiro obtained an $895,000 recovery on the day prior to jury selection on behalf of a 50 year old construction worker, who fell approximately 8 feet off a ladder while doing renovation work at the Palace Hotel in New York City. The accident was caused when one of the steps of the ladder on which the plaintiff was standing broke. It was unclear whether the step broke on its own, or whether it broke when a falling object struck it. Prior to trial we obtained summary judgment on the issue of liability pursuant to Labor Law 240(1) by proving that regardless of what caused the ladder to break, it failed to provide proper protection to the plaintiff.
