$1.5 M Scaffold Injury

Raphaelson and Levine’s long battle with Bovis Lend Lease ended in a $1.5 million settlement for a 65-year-old construction worker who fell off a scaffold and broke his leg. Our client was awarded summary judgment by a Bronx judge because of the defendant’s failure to properly secure our client while he was on a scaffold. Although he was given a harness, there were no anchorage points for him to tie off to. Justice was delivered to this hard working man, affectionately nicknamed “Happy,” by his coworkers.
