Our client fell 45 feet from unstable scaffolding at a construction site in Rockland County, NY, and was seriously injured. He broke bones in his neck, back and knee, fractured his hip and spinal cord and suffered a 12-centimeter laceration of the left leg. He underwent multiple surgeries to put in, and then take out, hardware used to fuse and mend his broken bones; and to treat the deep cut. He lives with chronic pain, motion loss and he can’t lift heavy objects, all of which makes it impossible for him to return to his old job.
