$300K Ladder Fall

The Firm successfully resolved a lawsuit for a client who fell from a ladder. Our client broke his wrist and required surgery to stabilize the broken bones. New York personal injury lawyer Howard Raphaelson was able to establish that the general contractor for the project violated the Labor Law by failing to provide proper safety devices that would have prevented this accident. This matter was in Nassau County. Howard achieved an award of $300,000 for our client. Howard said, “Our firm continues to send a message to contractors throughout the state that they must provide for the safety of our workers. Shortcuts will not be tolerated when they place the workers’ safety at risk.”
