A sub-contractor installing wiring for a clinic was struck in the head by an unsecured door left leaning against a wall by the general contractor. The construction worker was installing wiring for a new dialysis clinic. Workers from another company left construction debris resting against a wall, including an old heavy door. The wind blew the door over striking the worker on the head causing permanent brain damage. The lawsuit was filed against the general contractor who denied responsibility and blamed the injured worker for causing the incident. We were able to prove the general contractor violated its own safety policies the procedures– the true cause of the injury. The settlement provided needed financial security to the worker and enabled him to resume his career in a different type of employment.
Gross settlement: $1,100,000. Attorney’s Fees: $366,666.67. Case Expenses: $24,867.28. Net to client: $708,466.05
