$3,500,000

$3,500,000 A carpenter was working on a construction project, when he was struck by a massive 30-pound metal clamp to the head. He was provided with no safety devices, not even a hard hat. His job was to help with the construction and mounting of a new staircase in a residential building. Our client’s injuries and the circumstances of the case left very little doubt for the type of reward that he recovered and ultimately deserved.
